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...
