Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Photograph of the setup on the MAX IV beamline DanMAX. The ARΩS furnace (center, with orange polyimide windows) is on a hexapod stage in front of the PILATUS4 CdTe detector prototype (left: black with blue frame and reflective entrance window), with the X-ray beam coming from the right. ( b ) Heat map of the integrated diffraction data as a function of time, background corrected. ( c ) Estimated sample temperature and heat rate determined from refined alumina lattice parameters. ( d ) Selected Rietveld refined patterns at room temperature and 2000 K. ( e ) Evolution of relative masses determined from the refined scale factors.
Article Snippet: High count rates are enabled by the instant-retrigger unit in the PILATUS4 ASIC, which realizes a form of non-paralyzable counting (Loeliger et al. , 2012 ; Zambon, 2021 ), resulting in count rates above 10 7 counts s −1 pixel −1 .
