Abstract :
A new hybrid pixel array detector, the ePix100, has been developed at SLAC for tender and hard x-ray experiments at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). It is intended for low noise and good spatial resolution applications, particularly X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS) and in combination with wavelength dispersive spectrometers. The detector has 50 μm pixel size and less than 100 e- r.m.s. noise over the range of tested operating conditions. A series of measurements to validate its performance with x-rays was carried out at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) and LCLS. Results are here reported and discussed.
