Carrying out ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) experiments capturing the motion of molecules or the dynamics of biological systems at very short time scale require the availability of ultrafast, ultrabright electron sources and high performance imaging detectors. There has been tremendous progress in the field of semiconductor based X-ray detectors driven by the needs and demands of...
In the last years a large development effort has taken place in the photon science community around the world to develop detectors for existing and upcoming X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) facilities. XFELs have very short X-ray pulses ( ~100 fs) with a very high intensity (10^12) and, depending on the facility a high repetition rate of up to 4.5 MHz. The detectors usually aim to achieve...
At present most experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
are planning upgrades in the next 5-10 years for their innermost
tracking layers as well as luminosity monitors to be able to take data
as the luminosity increases and CERN moves toward the High Luminosity-LHC
(HL-LHC). These upgrades will most likely require more radiation
tolerant technologies than exist today. As a...
