Experiments have been performed at the Munich 14MV Tandem accelerator with 8–20MeV
protons in dc and pulsed beam, the latter producing comparable flux as a LDA ion pulse. For detection
tests we chose the position-sensitive quantum-counting semiconductor pixel detector Timepix
which also provides per-pixel energy- or time-sensitivity. Additionally other types of commercially
available pixel detectors are being evaluated such as the RadEye™1, a large area (25 x 50 mm2)
CMOS image sensor. All of these devices are able to resolve individual ions with high spatial- and
energy-resolution down to the level of mm and tens of keV, respectively. Various beam delivering
parameters of the accelerator were thus evaluated and verified. The different readout modes of the
Timepix detector which is operated with an integrated USB-based readout interface allow online
visualization of single and time-integrated events. Therefore Timepix offers the greatest potential
in analyzing the beam parameters.
