Oral presentation
Over the last years 3He has been widely used in gas filled detectors for neutron scattering due to its outstanding characteristics. Driven by the escalating supply shortage of 3He an International Detector Initiative to develop alternative technologies to 3He detectors for neutron scattering applications was initiated by the major neutron facilities worldwide. Focused on the development of...

Due to its advanced pixel circuitry, the Medipix3 chip is an interesting read-out alternative to today’s CCD- and TFT-based digital radiography detectors. Hybridised to a mono-crystalline high-Z semiconductor sensor, it can provide electronic-noise free and fine-grained colour X-ray images of high contrast. Nevertheless, the limited active area of the Medipix3 chip as well as single-crystal...

Oral presentation
During past five years VTT has actively developed edgeless detector fabrication process. Our straightforward and high yield process relies on ion-implantation to active the edges of the detector. The presentation covers latest edgeless pixel detector prototype results from CERN’s SPS beam test and X-ray response characterization. In these evaluations 150 um thick n-on-n edgeless detectors have...

Oral presentation
Owing to several advantages provided by their peculiar structure, where the electrode distance is decoupled from the active thickness, silicon 3D detectors are emerging as one of the most promising technologies for future experiments at high luminosity particle colliders. An additional feature available with the original 3D technology is the active edge, enabling to reduce the insensitive edge...

Oral presentation
Computed tomography (CT) is a non-destructive imaging method that is able to visualize the entire test specimen including inner structures. Its image quality depends on the accuracy of the system components, especially the X-ray detector, X-ray source and the manipulation system. Only the knowledge of characteristics of the components and their influence on image quality allows conclusions...
