AdvaPIX MAGIC QUAD Timepix3 Photon-Counting X-ray Detector
Formerly known as AdvaPIX TPX3 Quad, this high-precision fast particle tracking detector is equipped with four Timepix3 chips, offering exceptional resolution, detection speed, and ionizing radiation detection capability. Its specially designed housing structure and built-in electronic components enable it to withstand high-energy X-ray beam exposure without damage.
Model: AdvaPIX MAGIC QUAD
Brand: Advacam
Introduction
Advanced high-speed energy-resolved imaging camera optimized for high-energy detection
The AdvaPIX MAGIC Quad combines several unique advantages: electronics are laid out laterally to the sensitive area, material behind the sensor is minimized, and through-holes for the direct X-ray beam provide a customizable option for a completely unobstructed transmission path. The device synchronizes four Timepix3 chips through a single USB3.0 interface.
As the world's first photon-counting detector driven by a list-data mode, the AdvaPIX MAGIC Quad records each radiation hit event in real time as a continuous data stream, precisely measuring the position, energy, and arrival time of every detected quantum. The detector features ultra-high-speed sparse data readout, capturing up to 47 million pixel hit events per second.
Specifications
General Parameters
Available Variants
1. AdvaPIX MAGIC Quad The detector employs a four-chip square array structure.
The open-aperture version features an opening at the center of the detector, an improved design suitable for experimental methods requiring high-intensity focused beams, such as X ray diffraction. This central void prevents damage to the detector's sensitive area.
The array size is 28 × 28 mm, with a resolution of 262,144 pixels. Compared with other versions, this detector features a larger sensitive detection area, enabling the acquisition of more data in a single measurement.
This structure performs X-ray diffraction (XRD) and other material analysis methods with optimal performance.
2. This pioneering design is optimized for XRD, WAXS, and SAXS applications.
The detection area is extended via a monolithic sensor, available in versions with or without a central aperture, to accommodate the incident direct beam.
The flexible sensitive detection area supports multiple mounting positions and angles, enabling configurations such as in-line or L-shaped layouts to precisely meet the specific requirements of various applications.
Typical Applications
Energy-resolved imaging (X-ray, neutron, ion)
Particle tracking
Time-of-flight imaging
Compton camera
X-ray spectral imaging
Crystallographic analysis (small-angle scattering/X-ray diffraction)
By depositing a conversion layer (6LiF), the sensor can be adapted for neutron imaging needs. Combined with advanced data processing techniques to record single-hit events, ultra-high spatial resolution imaging can be achieved, with resolution reaching micrometer level (X-ray) or even sub-micrometer level (ions).
