Ketek AXAS-D Throughput

Throughput

Figure 2: The diagram provides the throughput behavior of the AXAS-D. It shows the dependency of the output count rate with the input count rate for different peaking times. The lower the peaking time, the higher is the maximum throughput for a system.

Energy Resolution

Figure 3: Energy Resolution with Input Count Rate acquired with KETEK DPP2: The energy resolution of the digital system is absolutely 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 peaking times.

AXAS-D peak position vs. input count rate

Figure 4: Peak Position: The graph shows the independency of the peak position of the Mn-Kα line with the input count rate for different peaking times. Acquired with KETEK DPP2.

Connectors

Figure 5: The backplane of the AXAS-D with all available connectors is shown. For the operation a ±12 V power supply is needed. The analog and digital outputs can be operated simultaneously.

Ketek AXAS-D Geometries

Geometries

Figure 6: All AXAS have compact aluminum 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.

Analog Output Signal

Figure 7: The AXAS-D is equipped also with an analog output which can be used together with the digital output simultaneously. The shape of this analog output signal (ramped reset type) is shown on the graph. The ramp amplitude is approx. 3 V.

Ramp with steps

Figure 8: If the detector is exposed to an X-ray radiation small steps are visible in the ramp signal. The height of each step corresponds to the energy of the single photon (one event).
