2D MHSP configuration 2D MHSP configuration High charge induction in top electrode (35% of the charge at the � anode) allows the implementation of the 2 nd coordinate readout. By structuring both sides, 2D readout by resistive charge division � is possible. 6 6 16 Sep Sep. 2005 . 2005 PSD 7 Liverpool 16 PSD 7 Liverpool

Position linearity linearity Position • Colimator holes - 2 mm in diamerter - 5 holes • 109 Cd x-ray source placed @ the position of each hole Good position linearity – mean deviation ~ 0.15 mm full range 8 8 16 Sep Sep. 2005 . 2005 PSD 7 Liverpool 16 PSD 7 Liverpool

Position resolution Position resolution • Colimator holes - 2 mm in diamerter - 3 holes • 109 Cd x-ray source placed @ - 0 mm position - 5 cm from the window Low background – rejection logic needed for further reduction � No improvement in resolution for smaller holes!! next slide � 9 9 16 Sep Sep. 2005 . 2005 PSD 7 Liverpool 16 PSD 7 Liverpool
