Description
A miniaturized radiation monitor (MIRAM) has been developed by the Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics of the Czech Technical University in Prague together with their spin-off company ADVACAM s.r.o.. MIRAM combines a hybrid pixel detector of the Timepix3 technology with a 300 - 500 μm thick silicon sensor with a set of four diodes. It provides a real-time measurement of particle (namely electron, proton, ion) fluxes and a continuous measurements of the Total Ionizing Dose (TID). The pixel detector’s segmentation into a square matrix of 256 x 256 pixels (pixel pitch: 55 µm) allows an assignment of the different particle species using characteristic track features (dE/dX, curvature, …). The diodes provide particle resolving power for edge cases and create redundancy for the TID measurements. The dimensions of MIRAM are 8 x 5 x 3 cm with a total weight of 140 g. The average power consumption is below 1.5 W. In this contribution, we present the MIRAM design, methodology developed for on-board data analysis and measurements demonstrating the functionality of the device.
