| Summary: | The results are presented of a development programme aimed at the validation of the key concepts and technologies for the construction of a two-dimensional X-ray detector based on gas microstrip detector technology using resistive division along the anode to achieve the second dimension. A prototype detector and its associated electronic readout system have been developed which demonstrate the capability of a spatial resolution (standard deviation) of approximately
1
1000
of the working aperture combined with readout rates of up to 400
kHz per anode. Test results and a description of the position sensing circuitry are given. |
