Abstract
The entry window of AGIPD allows 3Â keV photons to reach the sensitive volume with approximately 70% probability. Therefore the low energy performance of AGIPD was explored, finding a maximum noise floor below 0.035 hits/pixel/frame at 3Â keV beam energy. Depending on the noise level and selected threshold this value can be reduced by a factor of approximately 10. Even though single photon sensitivity, as defined in this work, is not given, imaging at this energy is still possible, allowing Poisson noise limited performance for signals significantly above the noise floor.
