Abstract

The new generation of elementary particle and nuclear physics experiments demand instrumentation with a more precise spatial resolution and a better and faster energy response. Nuclear physics and space experiments need position sensitive pad detectors having very thin entrance windows while high energy physics and medical applications use fast microstrip or drift detectors. Silicon pixel detectors can be improved by implementing integrated electronics on it. They allow a better X-ray energy resolution and are also used in hybrid photocathode tubes for faster timing and larger dynamic range.
