abstract = {The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (EuXFEL) began its
user operation five years ago, opening and offering new
research possibilities. The facility delivers high
brilliance, ultra-short, spatially coherent x-ray pulses
with a high repetition rate to six instruments (FXE,
SPB/SFX, MID, HED, SCS and SQS) by means of three different
beamlines (SASE 1, SASE 2 and SASE 3). One of the first
detectors used for early-stage experiments was the Adaptive
Gain Integrating Pixel Detector (AGIPD), custom designed to
meet the challenging needs of scientific instruments. The
AGIPD is a megahertz-rate integrating hybrid megapixel
camera with a per-pixel adaptive gain amplification,
allowing the integration of up to 104 of 12 keV photons per
pixel in its low gain stage. Currently, three scientific
instruments, namely SPB/SFX, MID and HED employ the AGIPD
systems, the latter mentioned using a prototype,
half-megapixel camera with an upgraded version of readout
ASICs. The AGIPDs at EuXFEL are successfully used for
experimental techniques like serial femtosecond
crystallography, MHz single particle imaging, MHz x-ray
photon correlation spectroscopy or MHz diffraction of
materials under high pressures in a diamond anvil cell.
Since September 2017, the AGIPD is continuously used and has
become an established detector technology, with further
advancements and developments planned. Delivering quality
experimental data requires reliable and reproducible
detector characterisation and calibration that have to be
performed regularly with a continuous improvement of
correction methods in close collaboration with scientific
instruments. This work summarises five years of experience
operating the AGIPD detectors at the EuXFEL scientific
instruments. It gives an overview of scientific capabilities
and examples of successful studies performed with AGIPD
detectors. Moreover, challenges concerning detector
calibration and characterisation are presented.},
