Validation of Geant4-based Radioactive Decay Simulation
Steffen Hauf, Markus Kuster, Matej BatiÄ +7
Radioactive decays are of concern in a wide variety of applications using Monte-Carlo simulations. In order to properly estimate the quality of such simulations, knowledge of the a…
The variable cyclotron line in GX 301-2
Ingo Kreykenbohm, Joern Wilms, Wayne Coburn +5
We present pulse phase resolved spectra of the hypergiant high mass X-ray binary GX 301-2. We observed the source in 2001 October with RXTE continuously for a total on-source time…
Detector Development for the European XFEL: Requirements and Status
Andreas Koch, Markus Kuster, Jolanta Sztuk-Dambietz +1
The variety of applications and especially the unique European XFEL time structure will require adequate instrumentation to be developed to exploit the full potential of the light…
The 1-Megapixel pnCCD Detector for the Small Quantum Systems Instrument at the European XFEL: System and Operation Aspects
Markus Kuster, Karim Ahmed, Kai-Erik Ballak +21
The X-ray free-electron lasers that became available during the last decade, like the European XFEL (EuXFEL), place high demands on their instrumentation. Especially at low photon…
X-CSIT: a toolkit for simulating 2D pixel detectors
Ashley Joy, Matthew Wing, Steffen Hauf +2
A new, modular toolkit for creating simulations of 2D X-ray pixel detectors, X-CSIT (X-ray Camera SImulation Toolkit), is being developed. The toolkit uses three sequential simulat…
Performance of an LPD prototype detector at MHz frame rates under Synchrotron and FEL radiation
Andreas Koch, Matthew Hart, Tim Nicholls +17
A MHz frame rate X-ray area detector (LPD - Large Pixel Detector) is under development by the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory for the European XFEL. The detector will have 1 million…
