GAS AMPLIFYING HOLE STRUCTURES WITH RESISTIVE POSITION ENCODING : A NEW CONCEPT FOR A HIGH RATE IMAGING PIXEL DETECTOR
1998
Abstract Promising recent developments in gas amplifying hole structures (e.g. CAT, MICROMEGAS, GEM) were accompanied by a lack of appropriate readout structures. Here, a new hole structure is presented which is combined, for the first time, with a truely two-dimensional resistive position encoding device. The investigations with this prototype detector are focused on applications with high rate X-ray sources, including general studies of gas gain, energy resolution and rate capability. In addition, latest results of the imaging performance (uniformity, spatial resolution, etc.) will be reported.
