Description
Q-Pix is an innovative approach for measuring directional ionization and, potentially, scintillation signals in a TPC. Originally conceived as a technology for the DUNE far detector, it may be of interest to other rare-event, large-volume tracking experiments, especially those in which low data rates and low power consumption are required. I will present the Q-Pix technical concept as well as preliminary engineering results with the first version of the Q-Pix ASIC chip, and look forward to conversations about potential applications of Q-Pix in the directional recoil sphere.
