2x1 Sensor Geometry
The 2x1 sensor geometry was tested with microscope. Two slides from Chris Kenney's presentation shows the pixel sizes:
The same presentation in PDF format: Pixels size
Optical measurement
Optical measurement is maintained by Chris Kenney. Detector or its quad is installed on microscope table and 3-d coordinates of all 2x1 sensor corners are measured with precision about 8um (RMS) in x-y plane. All corners in the measurement are numerated in arbitrary order. It is expected that numeration order should be the same for different measurements. This procedure depends on CSPAD construction;
- For CSPAD with moving quads (i.e. for CXI) optical measurement is done separately for each quad. The numeration of corners is shown in the plot:
The same plots in PDF format: CSPAD quad metrology and CSPAD pixel layout in quads.
See also: Description of CSPAD layout from DAQ
For each quad measurement is started from the point #1 which in assembled detector is closest to the beam. The 1-st point (x,y,z) coordinates are re-set to (0,0,0) in the beginning of measurements. At the end, it is checked that the 1-st point coordinates are reproduced within precision of measurement.
- For CSPAD with fixed quad geometry (i.e. for XPP) optical measurement is done for entire detector. The numeration of corners in this case is shown in the plot:
The 1-st corner of the 3-rd quad (x,y,z) coordinates are re-set to (0,0,0) in the beginning of measurements. At the end, it is checked that the 1-st point coordinates are reproduced within precision of measurement.
Corner coordinates are measured in micrometers (um) and are saved in the xlsx format table, also containing numeration of quads and points. Then, xlsx format table is converted to the text format in order to feed the python script for quality check and getting calibration parameters for 2x1 center coordinates and tilt angles.

QC procedure
For quality chech we calculate
S1 - 1st short side length of 2x1
S2 - 2nd short side length of 2x1
L1 - 1st long side length of 2x1
L2 - 2nd long side length of 2x1
D1 - 1st diagonal of 2x1 between corners 1 and 3
D2 - 2nd diagonal of 2x1 between corners 2 and 4
dS and dL are the deviations of the 1st and 2nd corner along the short and long sides, respectively. The sign of all dS are chosen in order to provide correct sign for the tilt angle (the same direction for all 2x1 sensors).
<dS/L> - the tilt angle of 2x1 averaged over two sides in radians.
angle(deg) - the same angle in degrees.
dD = D1 - D2
d(dS) = dS1 - dS2
d(dL) = dL1 - dL2
Quality check parameters for the perfect measurement:
S1=S2, L1=L2 - the 2x1 sides should have equal length and width,
D1=D2 - the 2x1 diagonals should be equal,
dS1 = dS2 = 2*dL1 =2*dL2 - tilt angle should provide consistent deviation for all corners,
dD=0, d(dS)=0, and d(dL)=0 - within precision of measurement.

Introduction
Cornell SLAC Pixel Array Detector (CSPAD) is an imaging X-ray detector made of silicon sensors (2x1) covering about 20x20cm² surface, as shown in the plot:
Pixel coordinates in 2x1 sensor chip are known with sub-micrometer precision. Construction of the detector allows significant freedom in relative positions of 2x1 sensors. To get precise pixel positions in the detector the 2x1 sensor coordinates needs to be calibrated. In this note we describe geometry of the CSPAD detector, optical and quad alignment procedure, parameters, and software providing access to precise geometry information.
2x1 Sensor Geometry
The 2x1 sensor geometry was tested with microscopic measurement. Two slides from Chris Kenney's presentation shows the pixel sizes:
The same slides in PDF format.
Important 2x1 features:
- Number of rows x columns = 185 x 388. (In DAQ notation of rows and columns is interchanged...)
- Most of pixels have size 109.92 x 109.92 um².
- Gap between two ASICS is covered by the two rows of elongated pixels with size 109.92 x 274.8 um².
- Two versions of sensors have different dimensions between corners, so it is reasonable to define pixel coordinates w.r.t. the sensor center.

Optical measurement
Optical measurement is conducted by Gabriel Blaj. Detector or its quad is installed on microscope table and 3-d coordinates of all 2x1 sensor corners are measured with precision about 8um (RMS) in x-y plane. All corners in the measurement are numerated in arbitrary order. It is expected that numeration order should be the same for different measurements. This procedure depends on CSPAD construction;
- For CSPAD with movable quads (i.e. for CXI) optical measurement is done separately for each quad. The numeration of corners is shown in the plot:
The same plots in PDF format: CSPAD quad metrology and CSPAD pixel layout in quads.
For each quad measurement is started from the point #1 which in assembled detector is closest to the beam. The 1-st point (x,y,z) coordinates are re-set to (0,0,0) in the beginning of measurements. At the end, it is checked that the 1-st point coordinates are reproduced within precision of measurement.
Note |
---|
The order of points in optical measurement does not coincide with numeration of 2x1 in DAQ, as shown in the plot (and in PDF file): |
- For CSPAD with fixed quad geometry (i.e. for XPP) optical measurement is done for entire detector. The numeration of corners in this case is shown in the file XPPMetrologyAnnotated.pdf and in the plot:
The 1-st corner of the 3-rd quad (x,y,z) coordinates are re-set to (0,0,0) in the beginning of measurements. At the end, it is checked that the 1-st point coordinates are reproduced within precision of measurement.
Corner coordinates are measured in micrometers (um) and are saved in the xlsx format table, also containing numeration of quads and points. Then, xlsx format table is converted to the text file format in order to use it in python script.
Example of tables for CXI:
Example of tables for XPP:
- Metrology in XLSX
- Metrology in TXT Python script converts this table to the table with standard numeration of points in quads:
- Metrology in standard TXT
Then, text table with "standard" numeration of points in quads is feed to the python script which provides quality check of optical measurement and evaluates the alignment parameters for quads. In the beginning, this script changes the numeration of points adopted in optical measurement to numeration of 2x1 used in DAQ. Further, all calibration parameters are associated with numeration of 2x1 sensors and quads in DAQ.
Quality Check Procedure
For quality check of optical measurement we calculate
S1 - 1st short side length of 2x1
S2 - 2nd short side length of 2x1
L1 - 1st long side length of 2x1
L2 - 2nd long side length of 2x1
D1 - 1st diagonal of 2x1 between corners 1 and 3
D2 - 2nd diagonal of 2x1 between corners 2 and 4
dS and dL are the deviations of the 1st and 2nd corner along the short and long sides, respectively. The sign of all dS are chosen in order to provide correct sign for the tilt angle (the same direction for all 2x1 sensors).
<dS/L> - the tilt angle of 2x1 averaged over two sides in radians.
angle(deg) - the same angle in degrees.
dD = D1 - D2
d(dS) = dS1 - dS2
d(dL) = dL1 - dL2
dz3(um) - signed distance from 2x1 sensor plane and corner 3, where the 2x1 sensor plane contains the corner points p1, p2, and p4. This plane is defined by the vectors v21=p2-p1, v41=p4-p1, and their orthogonal vector
Code Block |
---|
vort = [v21 x v41].
|
Scalar product with normalization defines the distance from point 3 to the 2x1 plane containing 3 other points:
Code Block |
---|
dz3 = (v31 * vort) / |vort|.
|
Quality check parameters expected for perfect geometry:
S1=S2, L1=L2 - the 2x1 sides should have equal length and width,
D1=D2 - the 2x1 diagonals should be equal,
dS1 = dS2 ? (388/185)*dL1 = (388/185)*dL2 - tilt angle should provide consistent deviation for all corners,
dD=0, d(dS)=0, and d(dL)=0 - within precision of measurement.
dz3(um) = 0
Everything, excluding <dS/L> and angle(deg), are in micrometers.

This quality check works well to catch significant typos in input table. In case of obvious typos input table can be corrected. When the quality check is passed successfully the alignment parameters are saved in deployed under the calib
directory as explained below.
Alignment parameters
The official place for CSPad alignment parameters is
/reg/d/psdm/<INSTRUMENT>/<experiment>/calib/CsPad::Calib<VERSION>/<CSPad-name>/<type>/<run-range>.data
The file name consists of the run range followed by the .data
, for example, 0-end.data
, 11-end.data
, 47-52.data
, etc.
Description of types
All CSPAD geometry alignment parameters are split for 9 types:
center
- x, y, z center position of each 2x1 for all quadrants. Comes from optical measurement.center_corr
- additional manual correction to the center parameter. Can be applied if the optical measurement has (non-)obvious problems.marg_gap_shift
- margins, gaps, and shifts between quads, as explained below. Comes from image-based tuning.offset
- x, y, z coordinates for 4 quads. Fairly-reasonable assigned before tuning of theoffset_corr
andmarg_gap_shift
parameters.offset_corr
- additional correction to the offset. Comes from image-based tuning.quad_rotation
- 4 quad rotation in n*90 degree. Comes from basic geometry.quad_tilt
- 4 quad tilt in fractional degree. Has never been used. In latest optical measurement is accounted through the global 2x1 coordinate measurement in the detector.rotation
- 8 2x1-rotation angle for 4 quads in n*90 degree. Comes from basic geometry.tilt
- 8 2x1-tilt angle for 4 quads in fractional degree. Comes from optical measurement.
All coordinates are defined in size of pixel, which is 109.92 x 109.92um (and 274.80 x 109.92um for two rows between two of 2x1 ASICs.) The quadrant size is pre-defined as 850x850. The margins, shifts and gaps are defined for these quads. The offset
and offset_corr
are defined for low-left angle of the rotated by n*90 degree quad. Size of entire CSPad image does not matter for this alignment.

This quality check works well to catch significant typos in input table. In case of obvious typos input table can be corrected. When the quality check is passed successfully the alignment parameters are saved and deployed under the calib
.
Detector geometry model
Since 2014 we support universal detector geometry software which is documented in the Detector Geometry page and in CSPAD-geometry-parameters.pdf.
Alignment parameters from optical measurement
From optical measurement we extract coordinates of the center of each 2x1 sensor and its tilt angle.
The center coordinates are evaluated as an averaged over 4 corners measurements for each axis.
The tilt
parameters are used along with rotation
to completely define orientation of 2x1 in quad (for CXI) or in detector (for XPP).
Alignment of quads in the detector
For CSPad with fixed quad geometry (like in XPP) optical measurement of entire detector (should) produces complete information for geometry alignment.
For CSPad with moveable quads (like in CXI) quads relative position needs to be adjusted through the alignment parameters for quads. It is usually done using typical images with diffraction rings, wires or other shading objects:
Although few algorithms of automatic quad alignment were tried, we did not find good generic way for automated quad tuning. Currently, the quad tuning parameters in marg_gap_shift
and offset_corr
are adjusted manually for runs with specific images.
Calibration store
The official space for CSPAD alignment parameters is
/reg/d/psdm/<INSTRUMENT>/<experiment>/calib/CsPad::Calib<VERSION>/<CSPad-name>/<type>/<run-range>.data
For example:
Code Block |
---|
/reg/d/psdm/CXI/cxi80410/calib/CsPad::CalibV1/CxiDs1.0:Cspad.0/geometry/1142-end.data
|
The file name consists of the run range followed by the .data
extension, for example, 0-end.data
, 11-end.data
, 47-52.data
, etc.
Calibration type
Detector geometry calibration information is located in a single file of type
geometry
- contains hierarchical description of all detector components; for example for CSPAD, sensors' location and rotation in the quads, quads - in the detector, detector - in the setup, etc.
