Optical Time Projection Chambers (opTPCs) equipped with high-resolution cameras enable the reconstruction of ionization tracks, improving particle detection and identification, making them ideal for studying complex and rare nuclear reactions. The Multilayer Thick Gas Electron Multipliers (MThGEMs) enhance the opTPC's performance by amplifying electrons and the scintillation light produced along the particle tracks.
Using a Timepix camera, with its high spatial and temporal resolution, further enhances opTPCs performance by allowing detailed 3D reconstruction of particle tracks. This enables precise identification of interactions, even in high-rate environments, where distinguishing between genuine events and background noise is essential. Timepix allows visualizing complete particle trajectories, thus providing critical data on scattering angles and energy distributions.
We will present results from tests in different gases, demonstrating how combining OTPCs, MThGEMs, and a Timepix camera improves detection sensitivity, resolution, and the study of rare events across a wide range of nuclear phenomena.
