Description

Photon counting method is a standard X-ray analysis technique, especially for energy-resolved or wide dynamic-range measurements. 1D or 2D photon counting array detectors have been developed recently and made extremely advanced analysis possible in synchrotron radiation experiments. In particular, the PILATUS detectors developed by the PSI represent the world largest single photon counting 2D-detector and overcome the existing imaging plate and CCD detector's limitations such as a slow readout time. SPring-8 has closely collaborated in the PILATUS project since the early stage. This paper describes the PILATUS detector and its applications at SPring-8 firstly, and then reports the other counting-type 1D and 2D detector developments. (author)
