Description
The PIMEGA Series of high-resolution, Medipix-based pixel hybrid semiconductor detectors are extensively used at Sirius X-ray source of LNLS research facility, for imaging and data acquisition from X-rays driven experiments on material science. This contribution summarizes the results of the analysis performed on a dataset of images acquired at different sensor temperatures, under vacuum conditions,
with the aim to understand time-dependent effects which are observed during detector operation such as photon-counting efficiency variation and appearance of evolving spots. Qualitative and quantitative figures are provided, followed with the evaluation pertinent hypotheses which could explain such effects, as well specific procedures for calibration taking it into account.
