Detectors at the Diamond Light Source
Dr Nicola Tartoni, Diamond Light Source

Abstract:
Detectors are often the components of the beam lines that limits the performance of the experiments at third generation synchrotron radiation sources such as Diamond. In this talk the challenges for detectors at synchrotron radiation sources are highlighted. Two recent detector developments pursued at Diamond are presented in detail. These developments are the Excalibur detector, a 3 million pixel area detector for coherent diffraction, and the multielement germanium detectors for absorption spectroscopy experiments.

Intrinsic N-well Monolitic Active Pixel Sensor R&D for Nuclear and Particle Physics
Dr Adrian Bevan, Queen Mary University of London

Abstract:
Intrinsic N-well Monolitic Active Pixel Sensors (INMAPS for short) are based on CMOS imaging technology. The fast readout, low mass and in pixel signal processing capability of this technology lends itself to a number of applications. QMUL are part of the Arachnid Collaboration and I will give an overview of the technology, and recent results.
