“Characterisation of the Medipix4 photon counting chip using X-rays”
Abstract: The Medipix4 ASIC is a CMOS pixel detector read-out chip working in single counting mode, which is currently in development. It is designed to be combined with different semiconductor sensors to convert X-rays into detectable electric signals. To test the chip, I performed measurements with and without a charge sharing suppression circuit enabled at different X-ray fluxes. I also did some X-ray imaging with the device.
