CLASSE Seminar - Julian Becker

Friday, February 17 at 1:00pm to 2:00pm

Wilson Synchrotron Lab, 3rd Floor Wilson Commons

The CLASSE Seminar is pleased to announce Dr. Julian Becker of DESY discussing:

Title: "Towards the Perfect Imager: Detector developments for next generation X-ray sources"

Abstract: I will be starting with a short overview of our group’s activities to develop detectors for PETRA III, the world’s most brilliant synchrotron source, located on the DESY premises.

New challenges arise for detector builders when designing detectors for Free Electron Laser (FEL) sources. I will introduce the European XFEL, currently under construction at DESY, and the special requirements it puts on detector projects like the Adaptive Gain Integration Pixel Detector (AGIPD).

I will close with an example of the challenges and possibilities for X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) at the European XFEL using the AGIPD.
