In this paper, results are presented from the characterisation of Redlen Technologies high-flux-capable Cadmium Zinc Telluride (HF-CZT) hybridised to the HEXITECMHz ASIC, a novel 1 MHz continuous X-ray imaging system. A 2 mm thick HF-CZT HEXITECMHz detector was characterised on the B16 Test Beamline at the Diamond Light Source and displayed an average FWHM of 850 eV for monochromatic X-rays of energy 20 keV. Measurements revealed a shift in the baseline of irradiated pixels that results in a movement of the entire spectrum to higher ADU values. Datasets taken to analyse the effect's dynamics showed it to be highly localised and flux-dependent, with the excess leakage current generated equivalent to per-pixel shifts of ∼ 543 pA (8.68 nA mm-2) at a flux of 1.26×107 ph s-1 mm-2. Comparison to results from a p-type Si HEXITECMHz device indicate this `excess leakage-current' effect is unique to HF-CZT and it is hypothesised that it originates from trapping at the electrode-CZT interface and a temporary modification of the potential barrier between the CZT and metal electrode.

“…The requirements of large high-speed detectors have led Diamond to initiate the development of a new high-speed framework for imaging detectors -Odin -which has been used for Percival [12], an update to Excalibur [13] and Eiger detectors. Odin provides a modular framework with detector specific plug ins.…”

This paper describes the development of the Tristan 10M detector for time resolved synchrotron experiments. Tristan 10M has an unprecedented time resolution (ns time scale) over long duration continuous acquisition (days). The detector is constructed from an array of 160 Timepix3 readout ASIC (about 10 million pixels) flip chip bonded to 10 monolithic silicon sensors which enable it to cover an area large enough to effectively carry out crystallography experiments. The large array of ASICs resulted in a number of severe technical challenges that had to be overcome during the development of the detector.The minimization of the dead area between sensors required the development of a very challenging mechanical and electronic packaging. Such a packaging had to be able to route the large number of data and power lines within the footprint of a sensor, had to effectively sink the heat generated by the ASICs, and had to be able to position the sensors accurately. In addition, the packaging of the detector was designed to be scalable in consideration of possible future larger versions of this detector which added a further challenge.The data driven nature of Timepix3 and the sheer data volume produced by the array of ASICs required us to devise a dedicated hardware, firmware, and software data acquisition architecture. This architecture proved very effective during the commissioning of Tristan10M when time resolved crystallography experiments were carried out.

“…The system, in a laboratory setting, is controlled from a user interface PC via GUIs and scripts utilizing the Odin control and DAQ package which is also being used for Excalibur [12]. Underlying this is an API that provides an easy interface point for facility control packages such as TANGO, DOOCS, or EPICS.…”

The peak brilliance reached by today's Free-Electron Laser and Synchrotron light sources requires photon detectors matching their output intensity and other characteristics in order to fully realize the sources' potential. The Pixellated Energy Resolving CMOS Imager, Versatile And Large (Percival) is a dedicated soft X-ray imager (0.25-1 keV) developed for this purpose by a collaboration of DESY, Rutherford
