Description

This paper describes recent progress in the development of HgI2 energy dispersive x-ray detector arrays for synchrotron radiation research and their associated miniaturized processing electronics. Deploying a 5 element HgI2 array detector under realistic operating conditions at SSRL, an energy resolution of 252 eV FWHM at 5.9 keV (Mn-Kα) was obtained. The authors also report energy resolution and throughput measurements versus input count rate. The results from the HgI2 system are then compared to those obtained under identical conditions from a commercial 13 element Ge detector array
