Towards hybrid pixel detectors for energy-dispersive or soft X-ray photon science

Mean of the r.m.s. noise of JUNGFRAU 0.4 (no extra filtering) as a function of the acquisition time for a hybridized assembly (chip bumpbonded to sensor) at chip operating temperatures of 30°C and -10°C and for a bare chip at a chip operating temperature of 30°C.

JUNGFRAU (adJUstiNg Gain detector FoR the SwissFEL Aramis User station) is a two dimensional hybrid pixel detector for photon science applications at free electron lasers and synchrotron light sources. The JUNGFRAU 0.4 prototype presented here is specifically geared towards low-noise performance and hence soft X-ray detection. With an extremely low noise of less than 30 electrons it enters a field formally reserved for SSD’s and CMOS imagers allowing single photon resolution down to a photon energy of 500eV.
