Free Electron Lasers
Oral presentation
The Paul Scherrer Institute is planning the construction of a X-ray free electron laser (SwissFEL), which will produce 20 fsec pulses of coherent x-rays in the wavelength range 0.1 to 7 nm, with extremely high peak brightness. These characteristics will provide opportunities for new experiments in chemistry, solid state physics, biochemistry and materials science. The presentation will focus...

Free Electron Lasers
Oral presentation
Many important experiments using next generation light sources produce extremely high instantaneous count rates that preclude the use of detectors that count individual photon pulses. Detectors that integrate and measure the total charge produced by x-ray conversion do not have the same limitation and are better suited to many of the demands of experiments at new sources. Instruments based on...

Free Electron Lasers
Oral presentation
The DSSC detector system, which is currently under development for the European XFEL, will be able to record X-ray frames with 1 Megapixel at a rate of 4.5MHz. The system is based on a silicon pixel sensor with a newly developed DEPFET as the central amplifier structure. The sensor will have a size of 200x200 mm2 and will be read out by 256 ASICs which are bump-bonded to the detector in order...

Free Electron Lasers
Oral presentation
The AGIPD consortium consisting of Deutsches Elektronensynchrotron (DESY), Paul-Scherrer-Institut (PSI), University of Hamburg and University of Bonn is developing a pixel detector for the European Free Electron Laser (XFEL) [1]. The challenge is the temporal structure of the radiation pattern emitted by the European XFEL, which will provide fully coherent X-ray pulses with a length of less...

Free Electron Lasers
Oral presentation
The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) will deliver 30,000 fully coherent, high brilliance X-ray pulses per second with duration below 100 fs. This will allow to record diffraction patterns of single molecules and study ultra-fast processes. Silicon pixel sensors will be used to detect the diffraction images. In 3 years of operation the sensors will be exposed to doses of up to 1 GGy of...
