The Adaptive Gain Integrating Pixel Detector (AGIPD) is a novel detector
system, currently under development by a collaboration of DESY, the Paul
Scherrer Institute in Switzerland, the University of Hamburg and the University
of Bonn, and is primarily designed for use at the European XFEL. To verify key
features of this detector, an AGIPD 0.4 test chip assembly was tested at the
P10 beamline of the PETRA III synchrotron at DESY. The test chip successfully
imaged both the direct synchrotron beam and single 7.05 keV photons at the same
time, demonstrating the large dynamic range required for XFEL experiments.
X-ray scattering measurements from a test sample agree with standard
measurements and show the chip's capability of observing dynamics at the
microsecond time scale.Comment: revised version after peer revie
