Description
An overview of the microstrip and pixel detectors developed at the SLS is presented together with example applications.
Parallel to the successful development of large area single photon counting systems for synchrotron radiation experiments (MYTHEN, EIGER), charge integrating detectors with extended dynamic range and single photon resolution are being developed to satisfy the strict requirements of X-Ray Free Electron Lasers (GOTTHARD, AGIPD, JUNGFRAU).
These detectors present interesting performances also for synchrotron
applications, e.g. the analog low noise information provided by GOTTHARD allowed to exploit the charge sharing between 20um pitch strips to achieve almost micron spatial resolution by means of interstrip interpolation.
Open issues concerning the sensors design will also be addressed, including the absorption efficiency for low and high energy X-rays and the radiation hardness.
