Edgeless sensor development for the LPD hybrid pixel detector at XFEL

This work will show the investigation into a possible design of flat panel geometry for the large pixel detector (LPD) at the X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) at DESY. LPD will be one of the detections systems for applications such as coherent X-ray diffraction imaging, small molecule imaging and pump-probe techniques. A proposed design of the LPD is to incorporate edgeless technology through the use of current terminating ring structures. Additionally dry-etching techniques to minimize the edge effects associated with tiled detectors are also examined.
