چکیده

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 source with a beam energy of 8 keV. The imaging performance is examined with apertures and standard diffraction targets. Finally, the application in a time-resolved lipid temperature-jump experiment is presented.

Development Of A Pixel Array Detector For Time Resolved X-ray Imaging

We are developing an integrating Pixel Array Detector (PAD) for microsecond timeresolved x-ray diffraction. The current detector prototype has a format of 92x100 pixels, each 150μm square, and covers an active area of 15x13.8 mm. The detector was tested at the CHESS D1 beamline and imaging capabilities within the microsecond time resolution regime were successfully demonstrated. This prototype ...
