Figure 5. Machine operation rep rates and targeted detectors.

Add section on running Run and DAQ triggers differently or the same:

The machine base rates, and the resulting frequencies that can be hit if the Run trigger is kept set when changing the DAQ trigger, can be seen in the Excel file below.

Quantum Efficiency

For the prototype detector, a small 500 um thick Si sensor was used with the standard entrance window (1um Al, 1 um non-sensitive Si) was used. For the final detector, a full-size 500 um thick Si sensor with a thin entrance window (Sintef - 100nm Al, 100nm non-sensitive Si) will be used. A first-order estimate of the resulting detection efficiency as a function of photon energy for the two types of sensors can be seen in Figure 6. It should be noted that the non-sensitive region and the Al thickness have not been measured and are best estimates. For the plots stating "with shield" the detection efficiency has been calculated assuming a 25 um thick Polyimide shield located in front of the sensor. An excel sheet containing the values for both sensors can be found under the Figure.

Initial testing

Gains

A first evaluation of the gains for the high and low gains, as well as the ratio between the two, can be seen in Table 3, while figure 6 7 show the gain maps (fitted peal position for 22.1 keV photons). It should be noted that this was measured using v2 of the ASIC, the original single trigger firmware, 262MHz Serdes clock, symmetrical ACQ/RO widths (24us), and a 4kHz frame rate. This measurement has to be redone and validated for v4 of the ASIC, with the final settings and firmware.
