Description
Pixel detectors with low noise, fast speed, and small pixel size are necessary for many X-ray imaging and many diffraction experiments at synchrotron facilities. For X-ray imaging, photon-counting hybrid technologies have significant advantages. The PIMEGA detector line, which employs Medipix3RX chips, delivers 55 x 55 mm² pixel size, with high frame rates, and noise-free detection, satisfying most application challenges.
Several commissioning experiments have been carried out using these detectors at the Sirius beamlines, such as Carnaúba (Coherent X-ray Nanoprobe Beamline) and Cateretê (Coherent and Time-Resolved Experiments). The Cateretê beamline was the first to employ one fully mounted module of PIMEGA 540D, whereas the Carnaúba beamline received a PIMEGA 135D. Here, we present some results from detector characterization and application experiments, highlighting its distinctive properties.
