Abstract
The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL.EU) is currently being commissioned in Schenefeld, Germany. From 2017 onwards it will provide spatially coherent X-rays of energies between 0.25 keV and 25keV with a unique timing structure. One of the detectors foreseen at XFEL.EU for the soft X-ray regime (energies below 6keV) is a quasi column-parallel readout FastCCD developed by Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL) specifically for the XFEL.EU requirements. Its sensor has 1920×960 pixels of 30μm ×30μm size with a beam hole in the middle of the sensor. The camera can be operated in full frame and frame store mode. With the FastCCD a frame rate of up to 120 fps can be achieved, but at XFEL.EU the camera settings are optimized for the 10Hz XFEL bunch-mode. The detector has been delivered to XFEL.EU. Results of the performance tests and calibration done using the XFEL.EU detector calibration infrastructure are presented quantifying noise level, gain and energy resolution.
