Performance Comparison for Analytical Science
摘要
Chapter 5 compares the performance of different superconductor detector types with respect to energy resolution, response timeResponse time, energy coverageEnergy coverage, spatial resolutionSpatial resolution, and operating temperatureOperating temperature to support informed detector selection for targeted analytical applications. Particles to be detected are photons in an energy range from ~ 0.3 eV to a few hundreds of keV, ions or molecules in a mass range from 1 to a few MDa, and electrons, including both zero-mass particles and nonzero-mass particles such as ions and neutral molecules. Typical analytical approaches are X-ray spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS)Mass Spectrometry (MS).
