Fast Position- and Time-Sensitive MCP-Detectors

Detector with Delay-Line Readout DLD40

Microchannel-Plate detector with delay-line readout for electron, ion photon (x-ray and UV) and neutron detection

Digital electronic readout measures position and time simultaneously and enables highest count rates

UHV-compatible

Detector performance
active diameter:    Standard size 47mm and 83mm
position resolution: 50 µm 1
overall linearity: 50 µm 1
timing resolution: 500 ps 1
maximum rate capability: 10 MHz 2
multi-hit pulse pair resolution: 10ns 2

1 position resolution, linearity and multi-hit capabilities depend on the electronic modules used
