The technical expertise of the members of the Detector and Beamline End-Station Development Program will be employed to develop experimental facilities at the Australian Synchrotron. These resources are essential to realising much of the research that is to be conducted by the other programs.
This program will develop detectors that are optimised to the experimental conditions prevailing in our X-ray diffraction experiments and will address issues such as sensitivity, response non-linearity, latent memory and readout fidelity.
In order to be able to complete the scientific goals of CXS, this program will undertake to design and assemble the instrumentation for a vacuum beamline end-station at the Australian Synchrotron suitable for routine diffractive imaging of nanoscale particles.
