- In this paper, we are presenting the results of the first test of the Percival P2M-FSI detector with tender x-rays photons at a synchrotron beamline. Percival is a monolithic CMOS Imager for detection of x-rays in Synchrotron Rings and Free Electron Lasers: the Front-Side-Illuminated (FSI) version of the detector has been proven able to successfully distinguish tender (2keV) x-ray single photons.

- High brilliance synchrotrons and FELs require high performing detector systems to realise their full potential. High dynamic range, low noise and high frame rate are all of great importance. In this paper we present first optical characterization results of the P2M CMOS sensor, designed for soft X-ray detection at such facilities. Previous work is summarised and an overview of the sensor is presented. Test results for the sensor's column-parallel ADC and readout chain are presented, and first test results for the pixel acquired using the Photon Transfer Curve (PTC) method are shown. Finally, an outline of future work is provided.

- The peak brilliance reached by today's Free-Electron Laser and Synchrotron light sources requires photon detectors matching their output intensity and other characteristics in order to fully realize the sources' potential. The Pixellated Energy Resolving CMOS Imager, Versatile And Large (Percival) is a dedicated soft X-ray imager (0.25-1 keV) developed for this purpose by a collaboration of DESY, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory/STFC, Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste, Diamond Light Source, and Pohang Accelerator Laboratory. Following several generations of prototypes, the Percival "P2M" 2-Megapixel imager - a 4.5x5 cm monolithic, stitched sensor with an uninterrupted imaging area of 4x4 cm(2) (1408x1484 pixels of 27x27 mu m - was produced and has demonstrated basic functionality with a first-light image using visible light. It is currently being brought to full operation in a front-illuminated configuration. The readout system being commissioned in parallel has been developed specifically for this imager which will produce - at full 300 Hz frame rate - data at 20 Gbit/s. A first wafer with eight Percival P2M chips has undergone backthinning to enable soft X-ray detection. It has been diced and chips are currently being wirebonded. We summarize here the P2M system, the project status, and show the P2M sensor's first response to visible light.
