Detector Advances for Light Sources

September 21, 2010 • APS Conference Center — Auditorium
9:00 am — 5:00 pm
Organizers: P. Denes (ALS), P. Fernandez (APS), P. Siddons (NSLS)

Previous workshops have contrasted the dramatic improvements in x-ray light sources with the stagnant pace of x-ray detector progress, concluding that programs in detector development “are one of the most cost-effective ways to leverage synchrotron resources”. In addition to several nascent efforts, the advent of x-ray Free Electron Lasers, requiring shot-by-shot readout, has recently spurred development – with new detectors starting to be produced worldwide. This workshop will review advances in x-ray detectors demonstrated in the past few years, explore ways to reduce the time from concept to hardware on a beamline, and assemble areas for future R&D.

Enabling Science and Innovation

Advances in synchrotron instrumentation, from sources through optics to detectors, have made possible the development of novel techniques to address pressing scientific questions that impact our daily life. SRI2010 is a forum to highlight these connections between synchrotron radiation instrumentation, science, and society.
