X-ray analog pixel array detector for single synchrotron bunch time-resolved imaging.

X-Ray Analog Pixel Array Detector for Single Synchrotron Bunch Time-Resolved Imaging

High-Speed X-ray Imaging with the Keck Pixel Array Detector (Keck PAD) for Time-Resolved Experiments at Synchrotron Sources

Modern storage rings are readily capable of providing intense x-ray pulses, tens of picoseconds in duration, millions of times per second. Exploiting the temporal structure of these x-ray sources opens avenues for studying rapid structural changes in materials. Many processes (e.g. crack propagation, deformation on impact, turbulence, etc.) differ in detail from one sample trial to the next and...

Development of a two-dimensional virtual-pixel X-ray imaging detector for time-resolved structure research.

An interpolating two-dimensional X-ray imaging detector based on a single-photon counter with gas amplification by GEM (gas electron multiplier) structures is presented. The detector system can be used for time-resolved structure research down to the micro s time domain. The prototype detector has been tested at the SAXS (small-angle X-ray scattering) beamline at ELETTRA synchrotron light sourc...

Spectrometric Performances of CdTe and CdZnTe Spectrometric Semiconductor Detector Arrays at High X-Ray Flux

The development of a novel energy resolved fast Xray imaging detector is reported. The device is based on pixellated cadmium telluride (CdTe) and cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe) detectors coupled to a custom designed 16-channel fast spectroscopy front-end electronic circuit. For each channel, a fast Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) continuously digitizes the signal from the detector pixel. A F...

Picosecond time-resolved laser pump/X-ray probe experiments using a gated single-photon-counting area detector.

The recent developments in X-ray detectors have opened new possibilities in the area of time-resolved pump/probe X-ray experiments; this article presents the novel use of a PILATUS detector to achieve X-ray pulse duration limited time-resolution at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), USA. The capability of the gated PILATUS detector to selectively detect the signal from a given X-ray pulse in 24 ...
