Description
TEMPUS is a novel two-dimensional, event-driven X-ray detector developed to meet the growing demand for high temporal resolution in time-resolved synchrotron and FEL experiments. Based on the Timepix4 ASIC, TEMPUS enables continuous acquisition of individual photon events with nanosecond timestamping, offering a significant advancement over traditional frame-based systems. TEMPUS now serves as a core platform in DESY’s fast photon science program and has demonstrated clear potential for broader adoption across next-generation light sources.
In this talk, I will present results from our proof-of-concept experiments at the ESRF, Eu.XFEL and PETRA III where TEMPUS achieved effective time resolutions down to 10 nanosecond (and improving) when working at a Nuclear Resonance Scattering (NRS) beamline . I will also discuss how this approach allows for cross-pixel correlation, enabling high-dynamic-range X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS) over more than nine orders of magnitude in timescale.
Finally I will discuss what are the next steps in our development and the challenges ahead.
