Customized silicon diode detectors are widely used for elementary particle detection for their good spatial resolution. Silicon detectors are also excellent X-ray detectors in the energy range of interest for applications in synchrotron radiation experiments and, with small elements laid out in a two-dimensional array, may provide high performance imaging devices for future diffraction experiments. These pixel detectors are still in the development phase but some are already installed in experiments and within the next few years large area detectors with fast, two-dimensional readout are likely to be available for online acquisition of diffraction patterns. This article describes the technology of silicon pixel detectors and outlines the status of current developments and the performance which could be achieved in a realistic system, indicating the steps required to implement it.
定制的硅二极管探测器因其良好的空间分辨率而被广泛用于基本粒子探测。在同步辐射实验应用感兴趣的能量范围内，硅探测器也是出色的X射线探测器，并且通过将小元件排列成二维阵列，可以为未来的衍射实验提供高性能成像设备。这些像素探测器仍处于开发阶段，但有些已经安装在实验中，并且在未来几年内，可能会有大面积的、具有快速二维读出功能的探测器用于在线获取衍射图样。本文描述了硅像素探测器技术，概述了当前的发展状况以及在实际系统中可以实现的性能，并指出了实现该技术所需的步骤。
