Abstract
The response of the pixel detector TimePix to ions in the 4–110 MeV kinetic energy range and A=1–136 mass range has been
studied using the fission–fragment separator Lohengrin of the Institute Laue Langevin in Grenoble. For heavy charged
particles TimePix can measure their (i) location and spatial distribution, (ii) kinetic energy, and (iii) time of arrival. Pixel
signal distortion and saturation arise when large charge is locally deposited and can be minimized by suitable detector settings
of baseline and threshold together with suitable low bias voltage.
