Setup:  RIXS-CCD in test chamber.  Turbopump on, Pirani reads 2.7e-8 with Polycold running.  Foil covering window to block room light.  Archon configured for binning mode, external trigger.  Frame rate set by burst period setting of Silent Waveform gnereator.  Configured according to RIXS-CCD procedure at https://drive.google.com/file/d/18SGIGRSk_v71dKv3i-ESIEPfAwkLIDIv/view?usp=sharing


Method: Define noise stats box to include a block of pixels avoiding the non-pixel gaps in the display.  Since the block contains sequestial reads of the binned pixels, the standard deviation over the block is a ~proxy for noise.  Record std. dev and absolute singal at 50 Hz, 100Hz, and 200Hz to measure leakage.  Gradually increase temp from -120C, pausing 15min at each temp to stabilize before recording.  Save 10 frames at each setting for later analysis.

Surprising to me that the noise and leakage never really seemed to take off until well above -75C....expected to see it increase by x2 per 7K or some such, but I guess that's only around room T.  Will need to look at the data to understand how I'm confusing myself.

Wondering whether something had just railed, I poked a small hole in the foil over the window, and found the detector was still working more or less as expected even at -50C.  Decided to take it all the way to 0C, expecting it to become unusable at some point.  Not sure that ever happened, but at least the noise started to go up (smile)
