Abstract

A curved, one-dimensional position-sensitive detector has been designed and constructed for the measurement of the scattering patterns from non-crystalline materials. The chamber is a one-dimensional, pressurized, gas-filled detector with delay line readout for position encoding. It covers an angular range of 45° in 2θ, and its quantum efficiency is 80% and 50% for 17.5 and 60 KeV x-rays, respectively, when using a Xe-20%CO2 gas mixture at 7 atm.
