Solid State Detectors for Synchrotron Radiation
The thrust of RampD and design efforts will be on
Si Diode Arrays ndash integrated with ASICs and wire bonding
Silicon Drift Detectors - excellent energy resolution arrays for large solid angle
Silicon Pad Detectors ndash integrated with ASICs and wire bonding
X-ray Active Matrix Pixel Sensors - large area coverage with n2 pixels but only n readout channels
3D Silicon Detectors - greater Si depth for higher energy photons
Germanium Detectors - higher Z than Si higher photon energies
NSLSII will need advanced photon detectors particularly for extremely high photon rates and dynamic studies on time scales of ~ 10-9s and shorter which can be solved only by novel detector concepts This work will also be coordinated with JPSI activities Key areas at include X-ray Fluorescence and X-ray Microprobe Si diode arrays Si Drift Detector arrays Powder Diffraction One dimensional microstrip arrays Soft X-ray Microscopy Multi-element Si detector with custom pads

The CFN is a science-based user facility with an overarching scientific theme for the development and understanding of nanoscale materials
The Instrumentation Division provides state-of-the-art instrumentationfor experimental research programs at BNL
How will Instr Core Competencies (Semiconductor Detectors Electronics and MicroNano Technology) complement the Center for Functional Nanomaterialsrsquos Scientific Program ndash With novel detector designs that enhance nanoscale characterization
New detector technology under internal development in Instrumentation since 2000 may overcome these limitations the Micro Pin Array (MIPA) gas detector that could be used for X-ray diffraction pattern acquisition at the NSLS and a CMOS-based direct electron detector for TEM STEM The increased sensitivity and acquisition speed of these detectors would greatly benefit two of the CFNrsquos scientific core programs Nanocatalysis (time-resolved X-ray diffraction studies of chemical reactions) and Soft matter and Biomaterials (low-dose TEM imaging to minimize radiation damage in beam-sensitive materials)
A primary mission of the CFN is to characterize nanoscale materials and nanoparticles that are fabricated at the CFN Equipment used for this task include the 300 kV FEI Titan Environmental TEM and the 200 kV Hitachi HD2700C STEM in Bldg 735 and via the Contributing User Program various beam lines at the NSLS The quality of the data from these instruments are ultimately dependent on the detectors that are used to record images diffraction patterns or spectra formed with X-rays or electrons Current detection methods such as CCD cameras or image plates are restricted by acquisition time spatial resolution and minimum detectable limits

Example of Return on Investment Interpolating Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC)
The Interpolating Cathode Strip Chamber concept was developed in the Gas Detector Group from the late 1980s to improve the position resolution and linearity of existing 1D and 2D x‐ray imaging detectors

The CFN is a science-based user facility with an overarching scientific theme for the development and understanding of nanoscale materials
The Instrumentation Division provides state-of-the-art instrumentationfor experimental research programs at BNL
How will Instr Core Competencies (Semiconductor Detectors Electronics and MicroNano Technology) complement the Center for Functional Nanomaterialsrsquos Scientific Program ndash With novel detector designs that enhance nanoscale characterization
New detector technology under internal development in Instrumentation since 2000 may overcome these limitations the Micro Pin Array (MIPA) gas detector that could be used for X-ray diffraction pattern acquisition at the NSLS and a CMOS-based direct electron detector for TEM STEM The increased sensitivity and acquisition speed of these detectors would greatly benefit two of the CFNrsquos scientific core programs Nanocatalysis (time-resolved X-ray diffraction studies of chemical reactions) and Soft matter and Biomaterials (low-dose TEM imaging to minimize radiation damage in beam-sensitive materials)
A primary mission of the CFN is to characterize nanoscale materials and nanoparticles that are fabricated at the CFN Equipment used for this task include the 300 kV FEI Titan Environmental TEM and the 200 kV Hitachi HD2700C STEM in Bldg 735 and via the Contributing User Program various beam lines at the NSLS The quality of the data from these instruments are ultimately dependent on the detectors that are used to record images diffraction patterns or spectra formed with X-rays or electrons Current detection methods such as CCD cameras or image plates are restricted by acquisition time spatial resolution and minimum detectable limits

Example of Return on Investment Interpolating Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC)
The Interpolating Cathode Strip Chamber concept was developed in the Gas Detector Group from the late 1980s to improve the position resolution and linearity of existing 1D and 2D x‐ray imaging detectors
It is straight forward to implement particularly on large detectors It provides high position resolution and linearity without increasing the number of electronic channels
This technology was adopted by the ATLAS Muon System enabling the Physics Department in BNL to play a leading role in the design and construction of the ATLAS inner endcap muon chambersThe same concept has also be used in the endcap muon system in the PHENIX Experiment at BNL and the CMS Experiment at CERN

The CFN is a science-based user facility with an overarching scientific theme for the development and understanding of nanoscale materials
The Instrumentation Division provides state-of-the-art instrumentationfor experimental research programs at BNL
How will Instr Core Competencies (Semiconductor Detectors Electronics and MicroNano Technology) complement the Center for Functional Nanomaterialsrsquos Scientific Program ndash With novel detector designs that enhance nanoscale characterization
New detector technology under internal development in Instrumentation since 2000 may overcome these limitations the Micro Pin Array (MIPA) gas detector that could be used for X-ray diffraction pattern acquisition at the NSLS and a CMOS-based direct electron detector for TEM STEM The increased sensitivity and acquisition speed of these detectors would greatly benefit two of the CFNrsquos scientific core programs Nanocatalysis (time-resolved X-ray diffraction studies of chemical reactions) and Soft matter and Biomaterials (low-dose TEM imaging to minimize radiation damage in beam-sensitive materials)
A primary mission of the CFN is to characterize nanoscale materials and nanoparticles that are fabricated at the CFN Equipment used for this task include the 300 kV FEI Titan Environmental TEM and the 200 kV Hitachi HD2700C STEM in Bldg 735 and via the Contributing User Program various beam lines at the NSLS The quality of the data from these instruments are ultimately dependent on the detectors that are used to record images diffraction patterns or spectra formed with X-rays or electrons Current detection methods such as CCD cameras or image plates are restricted by acquisition time spatial resolution and minimum detectable limits

The CFN is a science-based user facility with an overarching scientific theme for the development and understanding of nanoscale materials
The Instrumentation Division provides state-of-the-art instrumentationfor experimental research programs at BNL
How will Instr Core Competencies (Semiconductor Detectors Electronics and MicroNano Technology) complement the Center for Functional Nanomaterialsrsquos Scientific Program ndash With novel detector designs that enhance nanoscale characterization
New detector technology under internal development in Instrumentation since 2000 may overcome these limitations the Micro Pin Array (MIPA) gas detector that could be used for X-ray diffraction pattern acquisition at the NSLS and a CMOS-based direct electron detector for TEM STEM The increased sensitivity and acquisition speed of these detectors would greatly benefit two of the CFNrsquos scientific core programs Nanocatalysis (time-resolved X-ray diffraction studies of chemical reactions) and Soft matter and Biomaterials (low-dose TEM imaging to minimize radiation damage in beam-sensitive materials)
A primary mission of the CFN is to characterize nanoscale materials and nanoparticles that are fabricated at the CFN Equipment used for this task include the 300 kV FEI Titan Environmental TEM and the 200 kV Hitachi HD2700C STEM in Bldg 735 and via the Contributing User Program various beam lines at the NSLS The quality of the data from these instruments are ultimately dependent on the detectors that are used to record images diffraction patterns or spectra formed with X-rays or electrons Current detection methods such as CCD cameras or image plates are restricted by acquisition time spatial resolution and minimum detectable limits

The CFN is a science-based user facility with an overarching scientific theme for the development and understanding of nanoscale materials
The Instrumentation Division provides state-of-the-art instrumentationfor experimental research programs at BNL
How will Instr Core Competencies (Semiconductor Detectors Electronics and MicroNano Technology) complement the Center for Functional Nanomaterialsrsquos Scientific Program ndash With novel detector designs that enhance nanoscale characterization
New detector technology under internal development in Instrumentation since 2000 may overcome these limitations the Micro Pin Array (MIPA) gas detector that could be used for X-ray diffraction pattern acquisition at the NSLS and a CMOS-based direct electron detector for TEM STEM The increased sensitivity and acquisition speed of these detectors would greatly benefit two of the CFNrsquos scientific core programs Nanocatalysis (time-resolved X-ray diffraction studies of chemical reactions) and Soft matter and Biomaterials (low-dose TEM imaging to minimize radiation damage in beam-sensitive materials)
A primary mission of the CFN is to characterize nanoscale materials and nanoparticles that are fabricated at the CFN Equipment used for this task include the 300 kV FEI Titan Environmental TEM and the 200 kV Hitachi HD2700C STEM in Bldg 735 and via the Contributing User Program various beam lines at the NSLS The quality of the data from these instruments are ultimately dependent on the detectors that are used to record images diffraction patterns or spectra formed with X-rays or electrons Current detection methods such as CCD cameras or image plates are restricted by acquisition time spatial resolution and minimum detectable limits

The CFN is a science-based user facility with an overarching scientific theme for the development and understanding of nanoscale materials
The Instrumentation Division provides state-of-the-art instrumentationfor experimental research programs at BNL
How will Instr Core Competencies (Semiconductor Detectors Electronics and MicroNano Technology) complement the Center for Functional Nanomaterialsrsquos Scientific Program ndash With novel detector designs that enhance nanoscale characterization
New detector technology under internal development in Instrumentation since 2000 may overcome these limitations the Micro Pin Array (MIPA) gas detector that could be used for X-ray diffraction pattern acquisition at the NSLS and a CMOS-based direct electron detector for TEM STEM The increased sensitivity and acquisition speed of these detectors would greatly benefit two of the CFNrsquos scientific core programs Nanocatalysis (time-resolved X-ray diffraction studies of chemical reactions) and Soft matter and Biomaterials (low-dose TEM imaging to minimize radiation damage in beam-sensitive materials)
A primary mission of the CFN is to characterize nanoscale materials and nanoparticles that are fabricated at the CFN Equipment used for this task include the 300 kV FEI Titan Environmental TEM and the 200 kV Hitachi HD2700C STEM in Bldg 735 and via the Contributing User Program various beam lines at the NSLS The quality of the data from these instruments are ultimately dependent on the detectors that are used to record images diffraction patterns or spectra formed with X-rays or electrons Current detection methods such as CCD cameras or image plates are restricted by acquisition time spatial resolution and minimum detectable limits

The CFN is a science-based user facility with an overarching scientific theme for the development and understanding of nanoscale materials
The Instrumentation Division provides state-of-the-art instrumentationfor experimental research programs at BNL
How will Instr Core Competencies (Semiconductor Detectors Electronics and MicroNano Technology) complement the Center for Functional Nanomaterialsrsquos Scientific Program ndash With novel detector designs that enhance nanoscale characterization
New detector technology under internal development in Instrumentation since 2000 may overcome these limitations the Micro Pin Array (MIPA) gas detector that could be used for X-ray diffraction pattern acquisition at the NSLS and a CMOS-based direct electron detector for TEM STEM The increased sensitivity and acquisition speed of these detectors would greatly benefit two of the CFNrsquos scientific core programs Nanocatalysis (time-resolved X-ray diffraction studies of chemical reactions) and Soft matter and Biomaterials (low-dose TEM imaging to minimize radiation damage in beam-sensitive materials)
A primary mission of the CFN is to characterize nanoscale materials and nanoparticles that are fabricated at the CFN Equipment used for this task include the 300 kV FEI Titan Environmental TEM and the 200 kV Hitachi HD2700C STEM in Bldg 735 and via the Contributing User Program various beam lines at the NSLS The quality of the data from these instruments are ultimately dependent on the detectors that are used to record images diffraction patterns or spectra formed with X-rays or electrons Current detection methods such as CCD cameras or image plates are restricted by acquisition time spatial resolution and minimum detectable limits

It is straight forward to implement particularly on large detectors It provides high position resolution and linearity without increasing the number of electronic channels
This technology was adopted by the ATLAS Muon System enabling the Physics Department in BNL to play a leading role in the design and construction of the ATLAS inner endcap muon chambersThe same concept has also be used in the endcap muon system in the PHENIX Experiment at BNL and the CMS Experiment at CERN

The CFN is a science-based user facility with an overarching scientific theme for the development and understanding of nanoscale materials
The Instrumentation Division provides state-of-the-art instrumentationfor experimental research programs at BNL
How will Instr Core Competencies (Semiconductor Detectors Electronics and MicroNano Technology) complement the Center for Functional Nanomaterialsrsquos Scientific Program ndash With novel detector designs that enhance nanoscale characterization
New detector technology under internal development in Instrumentation since 2000 may overcome these limitations the Micro Pin Array (MIPA) gas detector that could be used for X-ray diffraction pattern acquisition at the NSLS and a CMOS-based direct electron detector for TEM STEM The increased sensitivity and acquisition speed of these detectors would greatly benefit two of the CFNrsquos scientific core programs Nanocatalysis (time-resolved X-ray diffraction studies of chemical reactions) and Soft matter and Biomaterials (low-dose TEM imaging to minimize radiation damage in beam-sensitive materials)
A primary mission of the CFN is to characterize nanoscale materials and nanoparticles that are fabricated at the CFN Equipment used for this task include the 300 kV FEI Titan Environmental TEM and the 200 kV Hitachi HD2700C STEM in Bldg 735 and via the Contributing User Program various beam lines at the NSLS The quality of the data from these instruments are ultimately dependent on the detectors that are used to record images diffraction patterns or spectra formed with X-rays or electrons Current detection methods such as CCD cameras or image plates are restricted by acquisition time spatial resolution and minimum detectable limits

Example of Return on Investment Interpolating Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC)
The Interpolating Cathode Strip Chamber concept was developed in the Gas Detector Group from the late 1980s to improve the position resolution and linearity of existing 1D and 2D x‐ray imaging detectors
It is straight forward to implement particularly on large detectors It provides high position resolution and linearity without increasing the number of electronic channels
This technology was adopted by the ATLAS Muon System enabling the Physics Department in BNL to play a leading role in the design and construction of the ATLAS inner endcap muon chambersThe same concept has also be used in the endcap muon system in the PHENIX Experiment at BNL and the CMS Experiment at CERN

The CFN is a science-based user facility with an overarching scientific theme for the development and understanding of nanoscale materials
The Instrumentation Division provides state-of-the-art instrumentationfor experimental research programs at BNL
How will Instr Core Competencies (Semiconductor Detectors Electronics and MicroNano Technology) complement the Center for Functional Nanomaterialsrsquos Scientific Program ndash With novel detector designs that enhance nanoscale characterization
New detector technology under internal development in Instrumentation since 2000 may overcome these limitations the Micro Pin Array (MIPA) gas detector that could be used for X-ray diffraction pattern acquisition at the NSLS and a CMOS-based direct electron detector for TEM STEM The increased sensitivity and acquisition speed of these detectors would greatly benefit two of the CFNrsquos scientific core programs Nanocatalysis (time-resolved X-ray diffraction studies of chemical reactions) and Soft matter and Biomaterials (low-dose TEM imaging to minimize radiation damage in beam-sensitive materials)
A primary mission of the CFN is to characterize nanoscale materials and nanoparticles that are fabricated at the CFN Equipment used for this task include the 300 kV FEI Titan Environmental TEM and the 200 kV Hitachi HD2700C STEM in Bldg 735 and via the Contributing User Program various beam lines at the NSLS The quality of the data from these instruments are ultimately dependent on the detectors that are used to record images diffraction patterns or spectra formed with X-rays or electrons Current detection methods such as CCD cameras or image plates are restricted by acquisition time spatial resolution and minimum detectable limits

The CFN is a science-based user facility with an overarching scientific theme for the development and understanding of nanoscale materials
The Instrumentation Division provides state-of-the-art instrumentationfor experimental research programs at BNL
How will Instr Core Competencies (Semiconductor Detectors Electronics and MicroNano Technology) complement the Center for Functional Nanomaterialsrsquos Scientific Program ndash With novel detector designs that enhance nanoscale characterization
New detector technology under internal development in Instrumentation since 2000 may overcome these limitations the Micro Pin Array (MIPA) gas detector that could be used for X-ray diffraction pattern acquisition at the NSLS and a CMOS-based direct electron detector for TEM STEM The increased sensitivity and acquisition speed of these detectors would greatly benefit two of the CFNrsquos scientific core programs Nanocatalysis (time-resolved X-ray diffraction studies of chemical reactions) and Soft matter and Biomaterials (low-dose TEM imaging to minimize radiation damage in beam-sensitive materials)
A primary mission of the CFN is to characterize nanoscale materials and nanoparticles that are fabricated at the CFN Equipment used for this task include the 300 kV FEI Titan Environmental TEM and the 200 kV Hitachi HD2700C STEM in Bldg 735 and via the Contributing User Program various beam lines at the NSLS The quality of the data from these instruments are ultimately dependent on the detectors that are used to record images diffraction patterns or spectra formed with X-rays or electrons Current detection methods such as CCD cameras or image plates are restricted by acquisition time spatial resolution and minimum detectable limits

The CFN is a science-based user facility with an overarching scientific theme for the development and understanding of nanoscale materials
The Instrumentation Division provides state-of-the-art instrumentationfor experimental research programs at BNL
How will Instr Core Competencies (Semiconductor Detectors Electronics and MicroNano Technology) complement the Center for Functional Nanomaterialsrsquos Scientific Program ndash With novel detector designs that enhance nanoscale characterization
New detector technology under internal development in Instrumentation since 2000 may overcome these limitations the Micro Pin Array (MIPA) gas detector that could be used for X-ray diffraction pattern acquisition at the NSLS and a CMOS-based direct electron detector for TEM STEM The increased sensitivity and acquisition speed of these detectors would greatly benefit two of the CFNrsquos scientific core programs Nanocatalysis (time-resolved X-ray diffraction studies of chemical reactions) and Soft matter and Biomaterials (low-dose TEM imaging to minimize radiation damage in beam-sensitive materials)
A primary mission of the CFN is to characterize nanoscale materials and nanoparticles that are fabricated at the CFN Equipment used for this task include the 300 kV FEI Titan Environmental TEM and the 200 kV Hitachi HD2700C STEM in Bldg 735 and via the Contributing User Program various beam lines at the NSLS The quality of the data from these instruments are ultimately dependent on the detectors that are used to record images diffraction patterns or spectra formed with X-rays or electrons Current detection methods such as CCD cameras or image plates are restricted by acquisition time spatial resolution and minimum detectable limits

The CFN is a science-based user facility with an overarching scientific theme for the development and understanding of nanoscale materials
The Instrumentation Division provides state-of-the-art instrumentationfor experimental research programs at BNL
How will Instr Core Competencies (Semiconductor Detectors Electronics and MicroNano Technology) complement the Center for Functional Nanomaterialsrsquos Scientific Program ndash With novel detector designs that enhance nanoscale characterization
New detector technology under internal development in Instrumentation since 2000 may overcome these limitations the Micro Pin Array (MIPA) gas detector that could be used for X-ray diffraction pattern acquisition at the NSLS and a CMOS-based direct electron detector for TEM STEM The increased sensitivity and acquisition speed of these detectors would greatly benefit two of the CFNrsquos scientific core programs Nanocatalysis (time-resolved X-ray diffraction studies of chemical reactions) and Soft matter and Biomaterials (low-dose TEM imaging to minimize radiation damage in beam-sensitive materials)
A primary mission of the CFN is to characterize nanoscale materials and nanoparticles that are fabricated at the CFN Equipment used for this task include the 300 kV FEI Titan Environmental TEM and the 200 kV Hitachi HD2700C STEM in Bldg 735 and via the Contributing User Program various beam lines at the NSLS The quality of the data from these instruments are ultimately dependent on the detectors that are used to record images diffraction patterns or spectra formed with X-rays or electrons Current detection methods such as CCD cameras or image plates are restricted by acquisition time spatial resolution and minimum detectable limits

The CFN is a science-based user facility with an overarching scientific theme for the development and understanding of nanoscale materials
The Instrumentation Division provides state-of-the-art instrumentationfor experimental research programs at BNL
How will Instr Core Competencies (Semiconductor Detectors Electronics and MicroNano Technology) complement the Center for Functional Nanomaterialsrsquos Scientific Program ndash With novel detector designs that enhance nanoscale characterization
New detector technology under internal development in Instrumentation since 2000 may overcome these limitations the Micro Pin Array (MIPA) gas detector that could be used for X-ray diffraction pattern acquisition at the NSLS and a CMOS-based direct electron detector for TEM STEM The increased sensitivity and acquisition speed of these detectors would greatly benefit two of the CFNrsquos scientific core programs Nanocatalysis (time-resolved X-ray diffraction studies of chemical reactions) and Soft matter and Biomaterials (low-dose TEM imaging to minimize radiation damage in beam-sensitive materials)
A primary mission of the CFN is to characterize nanoscale materials and nanoparticles that are fabricated at the CFN Equipment used for this task include the 300 kV FEI Titan Environmental TEM and the 200 kV Hitachi HD2700C STEM in Bldg 735 and via the Contributing User Program various beam lines at the NSLS The quality of the data from these instruments are ultimately dependent on the detectors that are used to record images diffraction patterns or spectra formed with X-rays or electrons Current detection methods such as CCD cameras or image plates are restricted by acquisition time spatial resolution and minimum detectable limits

Example of Return on Investment Interpolating Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC)
The Interpolating Cathode Strip Chamber concept was developed in the Gas Detector Group from the late 1980s to improve the position resolution and linearity of existing 1D and 2D x‐ray imaging detectors
It is straight forward to implement particularly on large detectors It provides high position resolution and linearity without increasing the number of electronic channels
This technology was adopted by the ATLAS Muon System enabling the Physics Department in BNL to play a leading role in the design and construction of the ATLAS inner endcap muon chambersThe same concept has also be used in the endcap muon system in the PHENIX Experiment at BNL and the CMS Experiment at CERN

Example of Return on Investment Interpolating Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC)
The Interpolating Cathode Strip Chamber concept was developed in the Gas Detector Group from the late 1980s to improve the position resolution and linearity of existing 1D and 2D x‐ray imaging detectors
It is straight forward to implement particularly on large detectors It provides high position resolution and linearity without increasing the number of electronic channels
This technology was adopted by the ATLAS Muon System enabling the Physics Department in BNL to play a leading role in the design and construction of the ATLAS inner endcap muon chambersThe same concept has also be used in the endcap muon system in the PHENIX Experiment at BNL and the CMS Experiment at CERN

Example of Return on Investment Interpolating Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC)
The Interpolating Cathode Strip Chamber concept was developed in the Gas Detector Group from the late 1980s to improve the position resolution and linearity of existing 1D and 2D x‐ray imaging detectors
It is straight forward to implement particularly on large detectors It provides high position resolution and linearity without increasing the number of electronic channels
This technology was adopted by the ATLAS Muon System enabling the Physics Department in BNL to play a leading role in the design and construction of the ATLAS inner endcap muon chambersThe same concept has also be used in the endcap muon system in the PHENIX Experiment at BNL and the CMS Experiment at CERN

Example of Return on Investment Interpolating Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC)
The Interpolating Cathode Strip Chamber concept was developed in the Gas Detector Group from the late 1980s to improve the position resolution and linearity of existing 1D and 2D x‐ray imaging detectors

Example of Return on Investment Interpolating Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC)
The Interpolating Cathode Strip Chamber concept was developed in the Gas Detector Group from the late 1980s to improve the position resolution and linearity of existing 1D and 2D x‐ray imaging detectors
It is straight forward to implement particularly on large detectors It provides high position resolution and linearity without increasing the number of electronic channels
This technology was adopted by the ATLAS Muon System enabling the Physics Department in BNL to play a leading role in the design and construction of the ATLAS inner endcap muon chambersThe same concept has also be used in the endcap muon system in the PHENIX Experiment at BNL and the CMS Experiment at CERN
