TEMPUS, a Timepix4-based system for event-based X-rays detection

Instrumentation and Detectors 2024-11-20 v1

Abstract

A readout system based on the Timepix4 ASIC, is being developed for photon science. The TEMPUS detector can be operated in two distinct modes: a photon counting mode, which allows for conventional full-frame readout at rates up to 40 kfps; and an event-driven time-stamping mode, which allows excellent time resolution in the nanosecond regime in measurements with moderate X-ray flux. In this paper, we introduce the initial prototype, a single-chip system, and present the first results obtained at PETRA III and ESRF.
