Description

The results are presented of a development programme aimed at the validation of the key concepts and technologies for the construction of a 2-d x-ray detector based on gas microstrip detector technology using resistive divide 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.
