Abstract

The fastest pixel array X-ray detectors can record images with nanosecond resolution. This is accomplished by storing only a few images in in-pixel memory cells. In this study, we demonstrate nanosecond resolution over a large number of images by operating a prototype detector in an event driven mode. The performance of this mode is tested by measuring the Brownian dynamics of colloidal nanoparticles. We can achieve sub-100 ns time resolution and overcome the pixel dead time by applying a cross-correlation analysis of the neighboring pixels. The approach used in this work can be extended to study time-resolved fast processes with diffraction, scattering or imaging techniques.
