abstract = {Gotthard-II (G-II) is a 1-D silicon microstrip hybrid
detector developed by the Paul Scherrer Institut within the
framework of a collaboration agreement with the European
XFEL. The ASIC features a dynamic gain switching
architecture, in order to cope with the luminosity of
European XFEL, and a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter with
a sampling/conversion rate of more than 18 MS/s as well as a
Static random-access memory, making it capable of matching
the European XFEL pulse train structure, thus acquiring up
to 2700 images at 4.5 MHz per burst. The sensor’s strip
pitch can be either of 50 or 25 , for a total of 1280 or
2560 output channels per detector, respectively, with a
spectral sensitivity that allows either X-ray detection
(optimized in the 5–20 keV range) or visible light
detection. Its exceptionally good compliance with the
European XFEL beam conditions will make G-II the most widely
employed detector across the facility, with a total of 29
modules of different flavors that will be installed in
scientific instruments and beam diagnostic setups. Although
the detector will be predominantly used for spectroscopic
measurements it will have a variety of other applications,
including X-ray diffraction/emission/absorption experiments,
relative pulse arrival time monitoring (of fundamental
importance for pump–probe experiments), spectral
diagnostics, and beam quality monitoring, with the
possibility for the detector itself to generate a veto
patterns for the large area MHz framerate pixel detectors
employed at the scientific instruments, such as AGIPD, LPD
and DSSC. In this paper, an overview of G-II detector
technology and its usage at the European XFEL will be
presented; the focus will then move on towards the process
of detector integration in the European XFEL control system,
data acquisition, and data correction infrastructure,
highlighting its challenges. Finally, an overview of the
first results obtained at scientific instruments will be
given.},
