Oral presentation
The talk presents the historical development of silicon detectors. Emphasis is put on the
different sensor concepts which have been realized, the performances achieved and selected
results from experiments in particle and X-ray science which became possible thanks to
silicon detectors.

Oral presentation
Protein crystallography (PX) is particularly demanding of detector performance and historically it has always been the detector that has been the limiting factor in the majority, if not all, diffraction experiments. Ultimately this is due to the need to obtain data with an excellent signal to noise ratio from samples that are limited in size, inherently weakly diffracting and highly...
