Recent progress in high resolution X-ray customised detection systems

Abstract The results of a collaborative development activity aimed to the realization multi-cell detectors based on monolithic SDD pixel technology will be described. Two kind detection systems, skilled for light lines at synchrotrons, have been brought high levels finalization and integration; 64 cells system dedicated absorption spectroscopy (XAFS) 32 detector X-ray microscopy (TwinMic). main targets this effort, led in tight collaboration with beam scientists, were large sensitive area, rate capabilities, state art efficiency energy resolution. aim is reduce time demand each single measurement while delivering cutting edge analytical power. All basic elements those from detector’s design production front-end read-out electronics including final engineering integrated customized specific use addressed.
