Advances in Imaging and Spectroscopic Detectors
Call for Papers
Rapid progress in x-ray detectors in the last few years is enabling a wide range of new applications. Important recent developments have occurred in superconducting detectors, thin-film arrays, imaging, and spectroscopic detectors. In many cases, detector advances underway for one application will prove to have significant benefit in many different areas. X-Ray Optics and Instrumentation provides a common venue for researchers in myriad applications, including astronomy, material science, plasma physics, medical instruments, synchrotron applications, solid-state physics, and mineralogy, to encourage a broad perspective and cross-fertilization.
Submission on x-ray and neutron detectors are solicited for topics including, but not limited to:
- Superconducting arrays
- Thin-film transistors (TFTs)
- Charge-coupled and charge-injection devices
- Amorphous array detectors
- High Z semiconductors (e.g., CdTe, HgI2, CZT)
- Drift detectors
- Single-carrier detector designs
- Microcalorimeters
- Microchannel plates (MCPs)
- Gas electron multipliers (GEMs)
- Gas microstrip detectors (GMDs)
- Avalanche photodiodes (APDs)
