Evaluation of the UFXC32k photon-counting detector for pump – probe experiments using synchrotron radiation

This paper presents the performance of a single-photon-counting hybrid pixel X-ray detector with synchrotron radiation. The camera was evaluated with respect to time-resolved experiments, namely pump – probe – probe experiments held at SOLEIL. The UFXC camera shows very good energy resolution of around 1.5   keV and allows the minimum threshold setting to be as low as 3   keV keeping the high-count-rate capabilities. Measurements of a synchrotron characteristic filling mode prove the proper separation of an isolated bunch of photons and the usability of the detector in time-resolved experiments.
