Using induced signals to sense position from a microchannel plate detector.

چکیده
We demonstrate a novel concept for a position sensitive microchannel plate detector. This detector provides sub-millimeter spatial resolution by examining the signal induced on a wire harp by the electron cloud from a microchannel plate detector. Wires in the harp are efficiently read out by coupling them to a delay line.

A novel gamma-ray imaging concept using `edge-ona microchannel plate detector
The `edge-ona illuminated microchannel plate (MCP) position-sensitive detector (PSD) is used for gamma-ray imaging for the "rst time. The superior position resolution of the MCP is combined with high detection e$ciency due to the `edge-ona illumination mode. The results of imaging a 15 Ci Cs source (662 keV quantum energy) are presented. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 07....
متن کاملMicrochannel plate cross-strip detectors with high spatial and temporal resolution.
The cross-strip imaging readout employs charge division, and centroiding, of microchannel plate charge signals detected on two orthogonal layers of sense strips to encode event X-Y positions and times. We have developed cross-strip detectors and fully parallel channel position encoding electronics. The front-end amplifiers utilize two 32-channel pre-amplifier ASICs that send signals to a full 6...
متن کاملMicrochannel Plate Imaging Detector Technologies for Uv Instruments
There has been significant progress over the last few years in the development of technologies for microchannel plate (MCP) imaging detectors in the ultraviolet. The nominal configuration of this type of detector consists of a photocathode to convert incoming radiation to photoelectrons, MCP’s to amplify the signals, followed by either an optical or electronic image readout scheme. Areas where ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional model of x-ray induced microchannel plate output
Microchannel plates are an important component in a type of imaging diagnostic known as an x-ray framing camera, used in x-ray radiography of high-energy-density physics experiments. A microchannel plate is responsible for detecting x rays and then converting them into amplified bursts of electrons, which are then imaged onto a phosphor-coated fiber optic screen. We present the preliminary deve...
متن کاملCross Strip Anode Imaging Readouts for Microchannel Plate Detectors
We have developed a novel microchannel plate readout scheme, the cross strip anode. The cross strip anode has a coarse (0.5mm) multilayer metal and ceramic cross strip pattern that encodes event positions by direct sensing of the charge on each strip and subsequent determination of the charge cloud centroid for each event. Event position encoding is accomplished with chip level preamplifiers on...
