The fastest pixel array X-ray detectors can record images with nanosecond resolution. This is accomplished by storing only a few images in in-pixel memory cells. In this study, we demonstrate nanosecond resolution over a large number of images by operating a prototype detector in an event driven mode. The performance of this mode is tested by measuring the Brownian dynamics of colloidal nanoparticles. We can achieve sub-100 ns time resolution and overcome the pixel dead time by applying a cross-correlation analysis of the neighboring pixels. The approach used in this work can be extended to study time-resolved fast processes with diffraction, scattering or imaging techniques.
最快的像素阵列X射线探测器能够以纳秒级分辨率记录图像。这是通过在像素内存储单元中仅存储少量图像来实现的。在本研究中,我们通过以事件驱动模式操作一个原型探测器,在大量图像上展示了纳秒级分辨率。通过测量胶体纳米颗粒的布朗动力学来测试这种模式的性能。我们可以通过对相邻像素进行互相关分析来实现低于100纳秒的时间分辨率并克服像素死时间。这项工作中使用的方法可以扩展到用衍射、散射或成像技术研究时间分辨的快速过程。
