CXI has two in-vacuum 2.3M CSPAD pixel-array detectors. Each detector is stationed downstream of one of CXI's three interaction points and can be read-out individually, together, or independently – allowing CXI the capability to operate two experiments simultaneously using a single X-Ray beam. When running two experiments during the same shift, the upstream experiment uses the DS1 CSPAD in the primary DAQ from cxi-daq, while the downstream parasitic experiment will use the DS2 CSPAD in the secondary DAQ from cxi-monitor.
The names DS1 and DS2, refer refer to the vacuum chambers that contain the CSPAD detectors and a handful of motorized beamline components such as pulse pickers, beamstops, vacuum gauges, and alignment stages. Taking a look at the EPICS PV descriptions of the detector chamber motors, we can get an idea of what else is inside the chambers.
