Abstract

Detectors detectors and electronics electronics for nuclear resonant scattering (NRS) experiments using synchrotron radiation are discussed. An introduction to X‐ray timing measurements timing measurements is given, followed by a historical look at the detectors that have been employed. The bulk of the article discusses silicon avalanche photodiodes avalanche photodiodes (APDs), APD as these are presently the most commonly used devices. APDs from several manufacturers are discussed, with emphasis on their relative merits.
