Introduction
Analysis of LCLS data from Nearly all imaging experiments requires precise coordinate definition of the photon detection spotconducted at LCLS require a precise description of the experimental geometry, especially how one or more area detectors are arranged with respect to the x-ray beam and interaction site. In pixel array detectors photon energy is usually deposited in a single pixel and hence a description of the experimental geometry should aim to provide the pixel location to a precision should be comparable with or better than its size, for the CSPAD about 100μm. Apparently, calibration
Determination of the detector and entire experimental setup geometry with to such a precision is a challenging task for many reasons; :
- position of the detector sensors relative to interaction point (IP) of the photon beam with target is not well known,
- in some cases detector is a composition of other sub-detectors arranged together and consisting of other sub-detectors and so on for a few layers in depth,
- sub-detectors of each layer may have stable positions or be moved by stepping motor relative to each other,
- final level sub-detector is represented by precisely engineered sensor(s) of particular type(s) which geometry needs to be tabulated.

FIG. 2: Coordinate frame of CSPAD 2x1 sensor. Note that a right-handed rule is used for the coordinate system, so the z-axis is coming out of the page. This "native" sensor frame is initially aligned with the global coordinate system; the sensor is then positioned by applying translations and rotations relative to that native frame.
The CSPAD 2x1 tile has
- 185 rows and 388 columns of pixels,
- regular pixel size is 109.92 × 109.92 μm²,
- pixel size in two middle columns (193 and 194) is 274.80 × 109.92 μm².
The pixel index and coordinates in the tile memory block of size 185×388 can be evaluated as
