Performance
Throughput: The diagram provides the throughput behaviour of the AXAS-M including the optional Digital Pulse Processor (DPP). It shows the dependency of the output count rate with the input count rate for different digital peaking times. The lower the peaking time, the higher is the maximum throughput for a system.
Energy Resolution with Input Count Rate: The energy resolution of the AXAS-M including a Digital Pulse Processor is mostly independent from the input count rate. The graph shows the dependency of the Full Width at half maximum with the incoming photons (input count rate) for different digital peaking times.
Peak Position: The graph shows the independency of the peak position of the Mn-Ka line with the input count rate for different digital peaking times for the AXAS-M with an optional Digital Pulse Processor (DPP).

Block Diagram
to the topThe diagram provides the principle of operation of an AXAS-M. It shows the SDD module including the Peltier element, the FET, temperature sensor and the SDD Chip itself. Together with the Preamplifier including all necessary filtering, voltage dividers and groundings, it forms the AXAS-M1. AXAS-M2 consists of a wide range input power supply, a high voltage module, a Peltier (TEC) Controller module and optional signal processing units.
Geometries
to the topAll AXAS have compact aluminium housings plated with Nickel. All screws are stainless steel and the systems can be fixed to a plate by using M3 screws. The mounting plates are compatible for all AXAS.
