  • Abstract
    A curved one-dimensional position-sensitive proportional detector (PSD) has been developed for powder diffraction studies. A curved "razor-blade" functions as anode. Cathode-strip readout gives position sensitivity. With individual strip readout, XeCO2 and Cu K¿ X-rays we obtained for the width of a diffraction line (FWHM) 200 ¿m (¿2¿ ¿ 0.1°).
