Soft x-ray area detectors
With the increased brilliance of state-of-the-art Synchrotron radiation sources and the advent of Free Electron Lasers enabling revolutionary science with EUV to X-ray photons comes an urgent need for suitable photon imaging detectors.
With both Petra III and FLASH at DESY providing unique opportunities for experiments (also) with soft X-ray beams, DESY's Photon Science Detector Group is...

Soft x-ray area detectors
The Advanced Light Source is a predominantly soft X-ray storage ring facility, where needs for higher speed and higher efficiency pixilated detectors has driven our activities. We have developed 100s of Megapixel per second (MPix/s) direct X-ray detectors based on CCDs grown on thick, high-resistivity silicon along with a custom readout circuit (fCRIC) in 0.25 μm CMOS. Initial versions of...

Soft x-ray area detectors
For quantitative measurements, absolutely calibrated detectors are required. In the X-ray and soft X-ray range down to about 0.2 keV, two different approaches can be realized for energy-dispersive detectors like Si(Li) detectors, CCDs or Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs): the calibration in the calculable undispersed radiation of a primary source standard, or the calibration against a primary...

Soft x-ray area detectors
We will present our current single particle/photon counting area detector technology based on microchannel-plate devices with position and time sensitive delay-line anode readout. These detectors are widely used at synchrotron facilities for means of correlated particle detection and for single particle/photon imaging at low intensity level. Recent developments focus on applying this detection...

Soft x-ray area detectors
Most of the low energy imaging detectors used at Elettra are based on micro channel plates in combination with cross delay line technology, originally developed for time resolved photoelectron spectroscopy in conjunction with pump- and-probe systems. Due to the architecture of the acquisition electronics, the detector correlates each event (electrons or photons) with its arrival time...
