  abstract =     "This work presents the first simulation results of the
                 incremental digital integration readout, a
                 charge-integrating front-end scheme with in-pixel
                 digitisation and accumulation. This novel readout
                 concept is at the core of the XIDer (X-ray Integrating
                 Detector) project, which aims to design 2D pixelated
                 X-ray detectors optimised for high energy scattering
                 and diffraction applications for the next generation of
                 synchrotron radiation sources such as the ESRF
                 Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS). The digital
                 integration readout and the XIDer detector open the
                 possibilities for high-duty-cycle operation under very
                 high photon flux, fast frame-rate and high dynamic
                 range with single-photon sensitivity in the
                 30–100 keV energy range. The readout method allows
                 for noise-free effective X-ray detection. The digital
                 integration concept is currently under investigation to
                 evaluate the impact of main critical design parameters
                 to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the readout
                 scheme and consequently to propose refinements in the
                 final implementation. Simulations have been performed
                 with a dedicated Monte Carlo simulation tool, X-DECIMO,
                 a modular Python package designed to recreate the
                 complete detection chain of X-ray detectors for
                 synchrotron radiation experiments. Losses and
                 non-linearities of the readout scheme are simulated and
                 quantified. In addition to presenting simulation
                 results for this novel readout scheme, this work
                 underlines the potential of the approach and some of
                 its limitations.",
