XFEL detectors

We present the latest status of the Large Pixel Detector (LPD) research and development program. The LPD is being developed by STFCs Detector Systems Centre for The European XFEL. To match the properties of the XFEL machine this detector system must be capable of operating with a high frame rate (4.5MHz), large dynamic range (1e^5 photons), while maintaining low noise (~1 photon). The system...

XFEL detectors

1D and 2D detectors based on charge integrating readout with automatic gain switching logic are being developed at PSI. The systems are designed to provide a dynamic range of 10^4 12keV photons, single photon resolution down to a photon energy of a few keV and a noise lower than 200 e.n.c.. The GOTTHARD 1D miscrostrip detector module, which is under commissioning, is composed of a printed...

47. Silicon-On-Insulator PHoton Imaging Array Sensor (SOPHIAS) for X-ray Free-Electron Laser

XFEL detectors

On behalf of SOPHIAS collaboration SPring-8 Angstrom Compact free-electron LAser (SACLA), which is the second X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) facility after LCLS at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory achieved laser amplification on June 7th, 2011. In the first user run of SACLA starting in March 2012, 25 proposals from domestic/international institutions will be conducted, where more...

73. Experience with Detectors at the LCLS

Dr Chris Kenney (SLAC National Accelerator Lab)

XFEL detectors

The LCLS (Linac Coherent Light Source) offers unique opportunities for photon science. To take full advantage of this, a corresponding suite of detectors must be made available to scientists. Progress towards this goal will be presented along with experience gained from operating within the LCLS environment. Specific topics such as radiation damage will be addressed. The status of currently...

64. Large area, high speed pnCCDs as imaging spectrometers for X-ray FEL experiments

Dr Lothar Strüder (MPE, Semiconductor Laboratory)

XFEL detectors

Fourth generation accelerator-based light sources, such as EUV and X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELs), deliver ultra-brilliant (~1012-1013 photons per bunch) coherent radiation in femtosecond (~10 fs to 100 fs) pulses and, thus, require novel focal plane instrumentation in order to fully exploit their unique capabilities. As an additional challenge for detection devices, existing XFELs...
