Timepix 望远镜已被开发为研究位置敏感带电粒子探测器性能的通用工具。作为为 LHCb 实验开发新型顶点探测器的基础设施的一部分，该系统在 FP7 项目 AIDA 下进行了扩展，以允许高能和医学物理界的多个团体将其用作外部设施。基于 CERN SPS，高跟踪速率（高达 18 kHz）、被测设备的精确空间分辨率（低至 1.6 μm）以及灵活的集成方法都已得到验证。该望远镜采用 Timepix ASIC 构建，这是一种有效面积为 14× 14 mm 2 的混合像素芯片。
The Timepix telescope has been developed as a general purpose tool for studying the performance of position sensitive charged particle detectors. Initiated as part of the infrastructure for the development of a new vertex detector for the LHCb experiment, the system was extended under the FP7 project AIDA to allow its use as an external facility by several groups within both the high energy and medical physics communities. Based at the CERN SPS, high track rates (up to 18 kHz), precise spatial resolution at the device under test (down to 1.6 μ m), and a flexible integration method have all been demonstrated. The telescope is constructed using the Timepix ASIC, a hybrid pixel chip with an active area of 14× 14 mm 2.
