Hybrid pixel array detectors enter the low-noise regime

Hybrid pixel array detectors enter the low-noise regime Washington DC (SPX) Apr 05, 2016 - The detector group at the Swiss Light Source at PSI has been one of the pioneers in the development of custom-made hybrid pixel array detectors (HPADs) for synchrotron applications. In a paper published recently, this group shows that it is now possible to develop HPADs with sufficient low noise to allow single-photon detection below 1 keV as well as to perform spectroscopic imaging.
