Detector

The multi-element fluorescence detectors that make the XRF maps, and the scaler-counted flux channels. PVs verified against the xfm-profile-collection startup files.

Enclosure: 4-BM-C.

Note

Which detector is read sets the mapping mode: the Xspress3 silicon-drift detector for step / fly XRF mapping, or the Maia array for fast continuous mapping. Both bind the catalog EnergyDispersiveSpectrometer. The scaler counts the I0 flux channels for normalization.

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
FluorescenceDetector EnergyDispersiveSpectrometer XF:04BMC-ES{x3m:1}: Four-channel silicon-drift fluorescence detector read by an Xspress3 mini (XF:04BMC-ES{x3m:1}: channels C1-C4, per-channel ROIs, an HDF5 stream). The primary XRF-mapping detector; reuses the EnergyDispersiveSpectrometer family. Element count and ROI map to confirm (DET-1). confirm
MaiaDetector EnergyDispersiveSpectrometer XFM:MAIA confirm: the Maia continuous-mapping detector array (XFM:MAIA); read from the bypass profile (rvt/bypass40-maia.py), not the active startup. Element count and live status to confirm (MAIA-1)
The Maia 384-element detector array for fast continuous (fly-scan) XRF mapping, XFM's signature mapping capability. Reuses the EnergyDispersiveSpectrometer family (a large continuous-readout array variant). Carried from the bypass profile (MAIA-1).

FluxMonitor FluxMonitor XF:04BM-ES:2{Sclr:1} The SIS3820 scaler (XF:04BM-ES:2{Sclr:1}) counting the I0 / flux channels for per-pixel normalization. Reuses the FluxMonitor family. The full channel map to confirm (DIAG-1). confirm
