Powder Diffraction and X-Ray Scattering

$Diffraction$

Strip-shaped pixels form a 1-D position sensing detector with energy resolution 350eV
320 strips on 0.125mm pitch -> 40mm total length and twelve 32-channel ASICs
Strips 8mm long

$Diffraction$

Sample-detector distance = 263mm
-> 8.7 degrees coverage, 0.03 degrees / strip
13 measurements spaced 7.5 degrees apart, each 1 second count time
Total 20 second scan

The National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York is a national user research facility funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. The two electron storage rings at NSLS, the X-Ray Ring and the Vacuum Ultraviolet Ring, provide intense light spanning the electromagnetic spectrum, from infrared through x-ray. Each year, over 2,000 scientists from 400 universities, industries and government labs perform research at the facility. NSLS is operated by the Photon Sciences Directorate, which is also constructing NSLS-II.
