Description:
JUNGFRAU is a hybrid pixel photon detector developed at the Paul Scherrer Institut for free electron laser (FEL) and synchrotron applications. A charge integrating detector, JUNGFRAU features three automatically switching gains per pixel which adjust the amplification factor to the amount of deposited charge. This enables single photon sensitivity, while ensuring a dynamic range over four orders of magnitude. Each detector module consists of eight 256×256 pixel ASICs bump-bonded to a single 320 μm thick silicon sensor, resulting in half a million pixels of 75 μm pitch arranged in 1024×512 arrays for a sensitive area of approximately 8×4 cm 2 . Modules can be combined in various configurations to produce larger systems. These proceedings present the required steps, both operational and in terms of data processing, necessary to perform experiments with the JUNGFRAU detector. This includes the calculation and application of pedestal and gain ...
