Characterization of an in-vacuum PILATUS 1M detector

Abstract

A dedicated in-vacuum X-ray detector based on the hybrid pixel PILATUS 1M detector has been installed at the four-crystal monochromator beamline of PTB at the electron storage ring BESSY II in Berlin. Due to its windowless operation, the detector can be used in the entire photon energy range of the beamline from 10 keV down to 1.75 keV for small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments and anomalous SAXS (ASAXS) at absorption edges of light elements. The radiometric and geometric properties of the detector like quantum efficiency, pixel pitch and module alignment have been determined with low uncertainties. The first grazing incidence SAXS (GISAXS) results demonstrate the superior resolution in momentum transfer achievable at low photon energies.
