Detectors for Synchrotron Radiation and Spillation Neutron Sources

Invited Talk

Detectors at synchrotron sources have always been a weak link, and continue to be so today. Although there has been considerable improvement in the detectors and the detector technologies used at storage rings, the development of the source brilliance has been even more significant, thereby widening the gap between the source and the detector performances. And short overview of the...

A one dimensional detector array using MCP technology in conjunction with a custom ASIC is presented. The detector chip features 768 pixels, each 3mm in length on a pitch of 25um, giving a length in the dispersive direction of 19.2 mm. Each pixel is furnished with a pre-amplifier and discriminator coupled to a 16-bit counter. The chip and MCP are mounted on a ceramic and stainless...

The microstrip detector is the workhorse of position sensitive detectors for tracking in particle physics experiments. Spatial resolution of a few m is easily achieved at read-out rates of few MHz. Utilising modern fabrication techniques (photolithography and ion implantation) provides with reliable and versatile devices with designs that can be tailored to meet the demands of...

We are developing a new ultra-long multi-grid-type microstrip gas counters (640 mm long) for neutron scattering experiments at spallation neutron source facilities. We employed a multi-grid-type electrode structure for stabilizing the gas amplification process in this MSGC. Also, we implemented a global-local-grading method for fast readout method where we divide a cathode signal...
