 <\/p>\n

The aim of the project is to improve the first demonstrator already tested with DAFNE-Light<\/a> synchrotron radiation sources at INFN’s Frascati National Laboratories and at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, by increasing the number of channels from 4 to 16. This increases the counting capacity, bringing it to more than 10 million counts per second. Such a high number of counts makes it possible to drastically reduce the acquisition time while maintaining a high signal.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”4751″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Although ARDESIA has synchrotron light spectroscopy as its reference application, it can also be used as a detector for industrial X-ray spectroscopy and fluorescence systems, or for microanalysis systems for scanning electron microscopy, where the short acquisition time is an important parameter.<\/p>\n
