Surface Concept Position Sensitive MCP DetectorsNovel SolutionsA. Multi-Segment Detectors
Multi-hit 2D/3D 4-fold delay line detector • Up to 4 multi hits with absolutely zero dead time • Up to 400 multi hits per 1 µs • Burst rates above 100 MCPS equivalent • 60 x 60 mm² (or 80 x 80 mm²)active area of DLD body and 80 mm active MCP area • Down to 30 µm of pixel size • < 250 ps over all time resolution • Linear response due to single event counting • Extremely low dark count rate: 0.2 cps/ cm² • Up to 40 MCPS random hit rate in 2D/3D mode Position sensitive 4 Quadrant DLD layouts 3D-DLD4040-4Q (80 mm diameter) and 3D-DLD3030-4Q (60 mm diameter): 4 fold segmented DLD using 4 independent DLD readout systems in parallel each segment has low dead times (15 ns DLD4040-4Q / 9 ns DLD3030-4Q)
Single particle detectors but > 100 Multihits by means of multiline MCP detectors!!! The logical consequence: 256 fold multi-line delay line detectors where as each line is working separately: multi hit capability will exceed 100 when each 1D-delay line can detect double hits! Callenging Project of Surface Concept in collaboration with CFEL at European XFEL in Hamburg: 256 Multi-Lines at the MCP anode as separated 1D-Delay Lines
