Abstract
Since their discovery in 1895, the detection of X-rays has had a strong impact and various applications in several fields of science and human life [...]
Highlights
New detectors and monochromators for synchrotron radiation high precision measurements were first made in Europe at the Frascati laboratories by a Italian–French team in the sixties, using the 1 GeV electron synchrotron [1]; a decade later, these efforts were followed by the Italian team of Balzarotti and Bianconi [2]
In the paper of Andreeva et al [3], a detailed description on the possible use of Mössbauer spectroscopy in material surface investigations is given, with particular emphasis on the importance of the polarization analysis in reflectivity experiments; the authors show the advantages of the polarization selection to deliver high quality data, providing a better interpretation of the magnetic ordering in multilayer films
X-rays coming from atomic transitions can be used, in nuclear physics, to investigate the low energy interaction involving strange quarks by measurements of kaonic atoms; this possibility is explored and reported in the paper from Curceanu et al [10], which provides an overview of the measurements of kaonic atoms performed at the Double Anular Φ-factory for Nice Experiments (DAΦNE) collider at LNF-INFN and on the X-ray detectors used in the experiments, like charged couple devices (CCDs) and silicon drift detectors (SDDs)
Summary
New detectors and monochromators for synchrotron radiation high precision measurements were first made in Europe at the Frascati laboratories by a Italian–French team in the sixties, using the 1 GeV electron synchrotron [1]; a decade later, these efforts were followed by the Italian team of Balzarotti and Bianconi [2]. The aim of this special issue is to have a global overview, from these communities and research fields, of the most recent developments in X-ray detection techniques and their impact.
