Detector

The Eiger area detector, the fluorescence detector for energy / edge selection, the on-axis beamstop, and the beam-position and flux monitors. PVs verified against the fmx-profile-collection startup files.

Enclosure: 17-ID-C.

Note

The Eiger reads the rotation diffraction data; the Mercury multi-element detector reads fluorescence for energy-edge selection (anomalous MX); both bind catalog Families. The full detector roster (Eiger model, beam centre, fluorescence ROIs) is DET-1.

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
AreaDetector Camera XF:17IDC-ES:FMX{Det:Eig16M} Eiger 16M pixel-array detector (the MX science detector; a detector cover sits at XF:17IDC-ES:FMX{Det:FMX-Cover}). Reuses the Camera family (Detector Role). Threshold energy, beam centre, and detector model pending (DET-1). confirm
FluorescenceDetector EnergyDispersiveSpectrometer XF:17IDC-ES:FMX{Det:Mer} Mercury multi-element fluorescence detector (an energy-dispersive multi-channel analyzer reading the XRF spectrum to pick the absorption edge for anomalous data collection). Reuses the EnergyDispersiveSpectrometer family (modelled here rather than deferred as at i03). Element count and ROI map pending (DET-1). confirm
BeamStop BeamStop XF:17IDC-ES:FMX{BS:1-Ax:FX}Mtr On-axis motorized beamstop blocking the direct beam ahead of the Eiger. Reuses the BeamStop family. confirm
BeamPositionMonitor PositionMonitor XF:17IDA-BI:FMX{BPM:1} Beam-position monitors along the beam (Prosilica BPM cameras XF:17IDA-BI:FMX{BPM:1}, XF:17IDC-BI:FMX{BPM:n}, plus the sector XBPM SR:C17-BI{XBPM:2} for photon local feedback). Binds the graduated PositionMonitor Family (a consumer alongside the other NSLS-II beamlines; DIAG-1). confirm
FluxMonitor FluxMonitor XF:17IDC-BI:FMX{Keith:1}readFloat Keithley picoammeter reading the beam-intensity photocurrent (I0 normalization). Reuses the FluxMonitor family. confirm
