In its aim to provide its users with a low-emittance and a high-energy source, the ESRF has gone through a major upgrade. The revolutionary storage ring of the new Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS) increases the brilliance and coherence of the X-ray beams by a factor of 100 compared to present-day light sources. As a part of the EBS’ instrumentation program to exploit this brightness and high-energy photons, the source is receiving eight EIGER2 detectors. The EIGER2 detector family is the latest result of continuous R&D efforts, focused on X-ray solutions for future synchrotron sources with new features and great stability. Built on a new ASIC generation, all EIGER2 detectors feature an increased count rate…
