Abstract

Studies of a single photon counting hybrid pixel detector for X-ray imaging applications are presented. A silicon- and a CdTe-sensor were bump bonded onto the MPEC pixel readout chip and could be successfully operated. A new USB based readout system was used for data acquisition. Measurements of the performance on the latest MPEC chip and imaging characterization of the sensors are presented.
