Abstract
The Gas Microstrip Detector (GMSD) has counting rate capabilities several orders of magnitude higher than conventional wire proportional counters while providing the same (or better) energy resolution for x-rays. In addition the geometric flexibility provided by the lithographic process combined with the self-supporting properties of the substrate offers many exciting possibilities for x-ray detectors for applications on synchrotron beam lines. Using experience obtained in designing detectors for Particle Physics we have developed a variety of detectors and their associated fast, low-noise front-end electronics for use on SR sources. These include a detector for wide angle x-ray scattering (WAXS) studies which has fan geometry and an x-ray detector which can acquire soft (E subscript chi <4keV) XAFS data at rates of several MHz. These detectors are described and results of tests carried out at Daresbury Laboratory presented.
