Talk

The UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) delivers detector systems to large scale scientific facilities both in the UK and world-wide. It achieves this through a combination of central laboratory and university led projects and wider generic research and development programmes.

As part of this programme RAL recently delivered the Large Pixel Detector[1] (LPD) to the European...

64. Multi-port CCD detector family at SACLA: six-year operation status and future outlook

Takaki Hatsui (RIKEN)

07/09/2017, 09:00

Talk

We review our six-year operation from 2011 to 2017 of the multi-port charge-coupled device (MPCCD) detector family at the X-ray Free-Electron Laser (XFEL) facility SACLA. We first summarize the architecture and performance with three types of sensors with 50 [1] and 300 micrometer thick MPCCDs, in combination with the first generation camera system [1] and upgraded compact camera system. The...

36. Development of Gotthard-II Detector for the European X-ray Free-Electron Laser

07/09/2017, 09:30

Talk

Gotthard-II is a silicon microstrip detector developed for the European X-ray Free-Electron Laser (XFEL.EU). Its potential scientific applications include X-ray absorption/emission spectroscopy, hard X-ray high resolution single-shot spectrometry (HiREX), energy dispersive experiments at 4.5 MHz frame rate, beam diagnostics, as well as veto signal generation for pixel detectors at the XFEL.EU....

39. First results of the MYTHEN-III strip detector prototype

Roberto Dinapoli (Paul Scherrer Institut)

Talk

After more than ten years of operation, the MYTHEN-II detector at the Swiss Light Source (SLS) at the Paul Scherrer Institutut, Switzerland, is being upgraded. MYTHEN-II is a 60k-channel single-photon-counting 50µm pitch silicon microstrip detector optimized for powder diffraction experiments.
A new readout chip called MYTHEN-III is being developed by the SLS detector group in 110nm UMC...

100. Characterisation of GaAs:Cr Detector Systems for High Flux X-Ray Imaging

Dr Matthew Veale (STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory)

07/09/2017, 10:40

Talk

The STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK), Tomsk State University (Russia), the Diamond Light Source (UK) and SLAC LCLS (USA) have been working together to develop, characterise and commission detector systems based on chromium-compensated gallium arsenide (GaAs:Cr) semiconductor material for high flux X-ray imaging at next generation light sources.

In this talk an overview of the STFC’s...

104. Performance of the Lancelot Beam Position Monitor at the Diamond Light Source

Hassan Chagani (Diamond Light Source Ltd.)

Talk

The Lancelot beam position and profile monitor records the scattered radiation off a thin, low-density foil, which passes through a pinhole perpendicular to the path of the beam and is detected by a Medipix-RX sensor. This arrangement does not expose the detector to the direct beam at synchrotrons and results in a negligible drop in flux downstream of the module. It allows for magnified images...
