XIA & Blueshift offering prototypes to researchers XIA LLC and Blueshift Optics, Inc., are offering research physicists and engineers at private labs early access to prototype neutron detection modules. These individually customized scintillator/detector systems...
Large detector arrays = Large network headaches Nuclear physicists who use very large radiation detector arrays can now obtain detector readout electronics that solve a major headache – clock synchronization – while simultaneously solving others due to the costs and...
This post is the first in a series in which we’ll answer customer questions we see about Pixie-16 data pipelines. It describes general aspects of data flow in the Pixie-16 hardware.
As radiation detector arrays in nuclear physics applications become larger and physically more separated, the time synchronization and trigger distribution between many channels of detector readout electronics becomes more challenging. Among applications requiring the...

NASA publishes first results from the Mars Rover PIXL instrument, which uses XIA technology to help search for signs of ancient life on Mars. XIA is proud of its collaboration with NASA/JPL on the Mars Rover Perseverance PIXL experiment, one of several instruments...
The Mars 2020 Mission with Rover Perseverance successfully landed at Jezero Crater on February 18, 2021. XIA collaborated with NASA/JPL and contributed to the PIXL instrument on the Mars Rover, which will help search for signs of ancient life on Mars. NASA’s mission...
In systems with multiple radiation detectors, time synchronization of the data collected from different detectors is essential to reconstruct multidetector events such as scattering and coincidences. In cases where the number of detectors exceeds the readout channels...
