New 36‐element pixel array detector at the ANBF — choosing the right detector for your beamline

Abstract

The Pixel Array Detector for XAFS data collection recently commissioned at the Australian National Beamline Facility is well matched to a busy second‐generation bending magnet source where both high and low‐flux applications are routinely encountered. In combination with the digital counting chain, throughput has improved by approximately a factor of 5. Detector resolution deteriorates slightly at high count rates. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
