Introduction

Cornell Stanford 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.

...

  • 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 maintained conducted by Chris KenneyGabriel 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 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.

...

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

Quality check parameters 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.

Everything, excluding <dS/L> and angle(deg), are in micrometers.

Example of the table with quality check results:

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].
Code Block

pair:        S1      S2     dS1     dS2

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 and deployed under the calib.

Alignment parameters from optical measurement

From optical measurement we extract coordinates of the center of each 2x1 sensor and its tilt angle, that populates the calibration types center and tilt, respectively.
The center coordinates are evaluated as an averaged over 4 corners measurements for each axis. Additional correction to the center coordinate center_corr can be applied if the optical measurement has (non-)obvious problems.
The tilt parameters are the same as "angle(deg)" from quality check results table. 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.

Detector geometry model

In calibration parameters all coordinates are defined in terms of pixel size 109.92um. In this units the reserved square space for each quadrant is 850x850. The margins, shifts and gaps in marg_gap_shift 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.

Alignment parameters

Location of alignment parameters and file naming conventions

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/center/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.

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 the offset_corr and marg_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.

CSPAD position parameters w.r.t. IP:

  • beam_vector- (description given by TJ Lane) a R^3 vector pointing from the interaction site to the location of beam_intersect (below), along the direction the beam travels. The magnitude of this vector is the distance between the interaction site and the rough plane of the detector.
  • beam_intersect- (description given by TJ Lane) a R^3 vector pointing from the origin (of CSPAD?) to the beam_vector, and intersecting the beam in an orthogonal manner. This can intuitively be though of as the "center" of the detector – and will be that center in the case that the detector is completely contained in a plane normal to the beam, and the origin is in that plane.

Pixel coordinate reconstruction

The list of CSPad geometry alignment parameters is over-defined; different parameters can be used to get the same final effect on pixel coordinate. It is done intentionally in order to keep flexibility in the alignment stage.

Algorithm description will be added soon.

Xoffset_qi = XOffQ + xqi + dxqi + [-gapX+shiftX, -gapX-shiftX, +gapX-shiftX, +gapX+shiftX]
Yoffset_qi = YOffQ + yqi + dyqi + [-gapY-shiftY, +gapY-shiftY, +gapY+shiftY, -gapY+shiftY]

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.
