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...

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...
