A new position sensitive anode for plasmas diagnostic

The studies of plasmas generated by laser-matter interaction requires detectors that are able to perform the time resolved imaging of photons and charged particles. Such information are necessary in order to characterize the time evolution of fundamental parameters (as temperature, density, etc.) of plasma. One of the key elements of such diagnostics is the position sensitive anode. We are studying a new type of position-sensitive anode which will be realized by using silicon planar technology: a trapezes and stripes resistive anode (TSRA). The new TSRA is a two-dimensional system, which can be coupled with one of two-stage multichannel plates for the particles detection or for photons.
