Radial position sensitive microchannel plate detector with ring-strip resistive anode and integrated electronics

Abstract

Using a ring-strip resistive anode and a pair of integrated spectroscopy amplifiers, a circular radius-sensitive microchannel plate (MCP) detector is developed for future studies of ion-atom collisions. The detector is tested by a 55Fe X-ray source and a radial resolution of 0.2 mm is achieved.
