Synchrotron radiation hardness studies of PILATUS II.
A synchrotron beam has been used to investigate the radiation tolerance of a PILATUS II module. It has been demonstrated that radiation-induced threshold shifts become significant above 30 Mrad. Individual adjustment of pixel thresholds after irradiation enabled retention of standard behaviour in excess of 40 Mrad. This implies that a module can be continuously irradiated for in excess of 40 days at an individual pixel count rate of 10(6) counts s(-1).
