Abstract
Application of nuclear microprobe event-by-event data acquisition approaches to synchrotron elemental imaging is at the heart of the design of a large energy-dispersive detector array called Maia, under development by CSIRO and BNL for SXRF elemental imaging on the X-ray microprobe. A new project is aimed at harnessing this development to provide high throughput PIXE imaging on the CSIRO Nuclear Microprobe. Maia combines a 1.2 sr solid-angle 384 detector array, integrated scanning and real-time processing including spectral deconvolution of full-spectral data. Results using a Maia prototype demonstrate the potential using SXRF application data with elemental images of up 100 M pixels.
