Multielement Detectors for High Energy SR X-ray Experiments.

There have been two different multielement detectors developed at the SPring-8 facility for high energy SR X-ray experiments beyond 100 keV, i.e., the 128-channel microstrip Germanium detector and the YAP imager. The farmer one is optimized for spectroscopy required in Compton scattering experiments, the latter for imaging in time-resolved diffraction pattern observation. With latest experimental results obtained with these two detectors, the design concepts are discussed together with some technical issues needed for further research. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
