X-ray Free-Electron Lasers (XFELs) are now bringing new opportunities in coherent X-ray Science (CXS). Future X-ray sources such as high-repetition XFELs and Diffraction Limited Storage Rings (DLSRs) are anticipated to advance CXS further by delivering higher repetition rate and higher brilliance of coherent X-ray beam. In this talk, we first review the detector development for XFELs [1] with...

Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is a preclinical treatment modality utilising medium energy x-rays from a third generation synchrotron source. The x-rays are collimated into parallel beams which are typically 25-100 µm wide with a pitch of 10-400 µm. Spatial fractionation of the beam allows the delivery of high doses with preferential damage to cancerous tissue and sparing of surrounding...

185. 24h with a pixel detector - assessment of a Dectris 1M EIGER unit on loan to MX2

The EIGER series of hybrid photon detectors constitute an interesting alternative to the more established Pilatus technology. As a means to assess their potential, Dectris kindly lent the Australian Synchrotron their smallest unit for a short period, to be tested at a range of beamlines. The EIGER has a range of properties suitable for deployment at an MX beamline such as kilohertz frame rate;...

X-ray micro-beam Laue diffraction is a powerful tool for mapping the orientation and elastic strain within polycrystalline materials. Microscale interactions between neighbouring grains influence the macroscale behaviour of a material, particularly its deformation behaviour and damage mechanisms such as cracking which is often initiated in the intercrystalline regions. Widely used deformation...
