Segmented Anode Delayline Detectors
Microchannel plate based detector packages with a segmented meander structured delayline anode, especially designed for position and time resolved multihit detection of electrons, ions and photons with sub-ns time resolution and µm spatial resolution by a parallel and independent readout of each segment.
Detector anodes are available as a two-dimensional meander structured delayline anode segmented in four quadrants or in eight overlapping segments. They are also available as a sophisticated, massive multihit capable stack of high numbered one-dimensional delaylines. The delayline detectors are available with different active areas and are mounted on standard CF flanges with feedthroughs for signal transfer and HV supply.
They come as complete packages including analouge readout electronics, time-to-digital converter, software package and optional HV power supply for a plug and play installation and operation.
