Pixel array detector for X-ray free electron laser experiments
X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) promise to revolutionize X-ray science with extremely high peak brilliances and femtosecond X-ray pulses. This will require novel detectors to fully realize the potential of these new sources. There are many current detector development projects aimed at the many challenges of meeting the XFEL requirements [1,2]. This paper describes a pixel array detector (PA...
متن کاملX - Ray Imaging using a Pixel GaAs Detector
The electrical characteristics,charge collection eeciency and energy resolution of a GaAs detector made out of LEC material have been studied. A matrix of 36 square pixels was deposited on a 70 m thick crystal; each pixel had an area of 200x200 m 2 with 20 m spacing between adjacent pixels. This detector showed a charge collection eeciency uniformity among the pixels better than 88% when expose...
متن کاملGas Scintillation Proportional Counters for High-Energy X-ray Astronomy
A focal plane array of high-pressure gas scintillation proportional counters (GSPC) for a balloon-borne hard-x-ray telescope is under development at the Marshall Space Flight Center. These detectors each have an active area of ~ 20 cm, and are filled with a high pressure (10 Pa) xenon-helium mixture. Imaging is via crossed-grid position-sensitive phototubes sensitive in the UV region. The perfo...
متن کاملGas Pixel Detectors for X-ray Polarimetry applications
We discuss a new class of Micro Pattern Gas Detectors, the Gas Pixel Detector (GPD), in which a complete integration between the gas amplification structure and the read-out electronics has been reached. An Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) built in deep sub-micron technology has been developed to realize a monolithic device that is, at the same time, the pixelized charge collectin...
متن کاملX-ray tests of a Pixel Array Detector for coherent x-ray imaging at the Linac Coherent Light Source
Test results are presented of a pixel array detector (PAD) developed for x-ray imaging at the Stanford Linear Coherent Light Source (LCLS). The basic module of the PAD consists of two bump-bonded chips: a reverse-biased silicon diode chip of 185× 194 pixels, each of which is coupled by bump-bonds to a charge integrating CMOS ASIC with digitization in each pixel. The LCLS experiment requires a h...
