Scientific researchers at the Institute of High Energy Physics developed a two dimensional X-ray detector with a high counting rate for X-ray and a high

Two dimensional X-ray detector

The two dimensional X-ray facility adopts 200mm×200mm gas electron multiplier (GEM) as the main detecting device. GEM develops vigorously in China due to its simple structure and excellent performance, and wide use in many fields.

After years of research, scientists have mastered manufacturing techniques of related detectors, settled key problems in electrode structure design, and developed fast readout front-end electronics with multi-channels.

Apart from satisfying the users' needs at sychrotron radiation facility, this newly delveped detector can be widely applied to x-ray diffraction, small-angle scattering and imaging.

On June 7, a review meeting was held at IHEP. Experts listened to the project report and witnessed an on-site test with the conclusion that all the designed specifications were satisfactorily met.
