چکیده

A series of tests were conducted to evaluate the accuracy of a diode detector array in measuring flatness and symmetry of x-ray and electron energies, and the ability to determine change in beam energy. The results show the diode detector array accurately measures flatness and symmetry and can accurately measure or detect change in beam energy. The evaluation also demonstrates the utility of using this model detector system in a linear accelerator QC program.

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...

X-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...
