Integrating Detectors to Meet National Facility Needs
Year: 2017
Type: report
Abstract: The objective of the work reported upon was to perform research and develop and test advanced prototype imaging x-ray detectors needed to meet pressing scientific research needs at U.S. synchrotron x-ray user facilities. The high x-ray brightness of the Nation’s x-ray synchrotron sources in the DOE National Laboratories holds promise to advance science and technology in a broad range of fundamental and applied disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biomedical areas and engineering. At present, progress in many areas is limited not by the x-ray source but by the lack of imaging x-ray detectors capable of meeting experimental needs. Specifically, there is pressing need for imaging detectors with high dynamic range, low noise, high frame rates and the ability to capture x-ray images with x-rays of energy > 20 keV. This Final Technical Report summarizes progress made at Cornell University on novel integrating x-ray detector platforms that address these characteristics.
