  1. 100. Position sensitive photon detectors for Nuclear Physics, Particle Physics and Healthcare Applications
    Dr Bjoern Seitz (Glasgow University)

    Applications in Nuclear Physics
    Invited Oral
    Modern experiments in hadronic physics require detector systems capable of identifying and reconstructing all final-state particles and their momentum vectors. Imaging Cherenkov counters (RICH and DIRC) are frequently employed in nuclear and particle physics experiments, These detectors require high-rate, single-photon capable light detection system with sufficient granularity and position...

    Detectors for Synchrotron Radiation and Spallation Neutron Sources
    Oral Presentation
    Four years ago, a study of back-illuminated Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs) for soft X-ray photon detection demonstrated the improvements that could be brought over more traditional micro-channel plate detectors for X-ray spectrometers based on diffraction gratings and position sensitive detectors [1]. Whilst the spatial resolution was reported to be improved dramatically, an intrinsic limit of...

    Detectors for Synchrotron Radiation and Spallation Neutron Sources
    Oral Presentation
    EIGER is the next generation of single photon counting detector for synchrotron radiation designed by the PSI-SLS detector group. It features a pixel size of 75x75 μm2 and frame rates up to 22kHz. An array of 256x256 pixels fits on a 2cm x 2cm chip. The chip provides 4, 8 and 12 bit counting modes and practically an infinite dynamic range (32 bits) due to the continuous read/write and the...

  4. 74. Application of time-tagged photon imaging for trace gas measurement using cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy

    Oral Presentation
    Optical spectroscopy is a powerful tool for the measurement of atmospheric gases and changes to atmospheric composition. For example, global measurements of ozone (and other species) are updated daily from satellite observations using essentially the same spectroscopic principles. The strength of spectroscopic methods at visible, UV or IR wavelengths lies in (i) their selectivity, which makes...
