A diffraction effect in X-ray area detectors — •Christian Gollwitzer and Michael Krumrey — Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Berlin, Germany
When an X-ray area detector with a single-crystalline sensor layer, such as a
hybrid pixel detector, is used to record a scattering or diffraction image,
a pattern of lines can appear which overlays the detected images.1
This pattern with an intensity decrease of up to 20% is caused by diffraction in the sensor layer.
Experimental images of a modular PILATUS 1M
detector2 together with a theory are presented over a photon energy range from 3.4 keV to
10 keV. The effect can be exploited to measure the photon energy of
the beam and angular misalignment of the detector.
