High accuracy gaseous X-ray detectors
Abstract
An outline is given of the design and operation of which accuracy position-sensitive X-ray detectors suitable for experiments using synchrotron radiation. They are based on the gas proportional detector, with position readout using a delay line; a detailed examination is made of factors which limit spatial resolution. Individual wire readout may be used for extremely high counting rates.
