The pin pixel detector—X-ray imaging
Abstract
The development and testing of a soft X-ray gas pixel detector, which uses connector pins for the anodes is reported. Based on a commercial 100 pin connector block, a prototype detector of aperture 25.4mm×25.4mm can be economically fabricated. The individual pin anodes all show the expected characteristics of small gas detectors capable of counting rates reaching 1MHz per pin. A 2-dimensional resistive divide readout system has been developed …
