Beam Position Monitoring and Polarimetry with a Timepix3 Pixel Detector at a Compton Backscattering Polarimeter
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The ELSA facility at the University of Bonn uses a storage ring to accelerate polarized electrons up to 3.2 GeV. To monitor the polarization degree of the stored beam a Compton polarimeter is used to analyze the profile of the backscattered beam of gamma rays. In addition to a silicon microstrip detector with vertical resolution, a Timepix3 pixel detector is tested as alternative detector for the usage in beam polarimetry and beam position monitoring. The current status of the alternative detector setup is presented.
