Main Results:

PERCIVAL specifications: ~10cm x 10cm, 3.5k x 3.7k pixels, 120 Hz frame rate, 250 eV - 1 keV energy range, >90% efficiency.
AGIPD capabilities: 4.5 MHz frame rate, 352-frame buffer, single-photon to >10000 photon detection at 12.4 keV.
Both detectors aim for single-photon sensitivity with large dynamic range and multi-megapixel resolution.

Conclusions:

PERCIVAL and AGIPD represent significant advancements in photon imaging detector technology.
These detectors are crucial for enabling cutting-edge research at FELs and advanced synchrotron facilities.
Ongoing developments at DESY and collaborating institutions continue to push the boundaries of detector performance.
