Developments in Gas Detectors for Synchrotron X - Ray Radiation
New results on the physical limitations to position resolution in gas detectors for X-rays ( 3-20 due to the range of photoelectrons and Auger electrons are discussed. These results were obtained with a small gap detector in which position readout was accomplished by using a very low noise centroid finding technique. A description is given of position sensitive detectors for medium rates (a few...
متن کاملSilicon Drift Detectors for High Resolution, High Count Rate X-ray Spectroscopy at Room Temperature
Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) consist of a fully depleted volume in which an electric field drives signal charges to a small sized anode. Due to their topology SDDs combine a large sensitive area with a small output capacitance. In an advanced SDD version for X-ray spectroscopy designed and fabricated at the MPI semiconductor laboratory the input transistor of the amplifying electronics has be...
متن کاملGas Scintillation Proportional Counters for High-Energy X-ray Astronomy
A focal plane array of high-pressure gas scintillation proportional counters (GSPC) for a balloon-borne hard-x-ray telescope is under development at the Marshall Space Flight Center. These detectors each have an active area of ~ 20 cm, and are filled with a high pressure (10 Pa) xenon-helium mixture. Imaging is via crossed-grid position-sensitive phototubes sensitive in the UV region. The perfo...
متن کاملCryogenic X-ray detectors for synchrotron science.
Cryogenic detectors operated at temperatures below 1 K offer an order of magnitude higher energy resolution than conventional semiconductor-based energy-dispersive detectors, and orders of magnitude higher efficiency that grating spectrometers. Initially developed for astrophysics applications, these detectors are increasingly used in synchrotron-based research, both for detector characterizati...
متن کاملHigh Resolution X-ray Imaging by Portable Synchrotron Radiation Source "mirrorcle-6x"
MIRRORCLE-6X is a portable synchrotron composed of a 6-MeV microtron injector, and a 60cm outer diameter exactly circular synchrotron ring made of a normal conducting magnet. The injection is performed at 400 Hz repetitions by 100 mA injector peaks current, which lead to 3A accumulated peak current. X-rays are generated by a collision of the relativistic electron beam and a small target placed ...
