✦ Synopsis

New detector instrumentation developed at Daresbury Laboratory enables high quality Energy Dispersive EXAFS (EDE) data to be collected in timescales of less than a second using a 1024 element Reticon linear array.

Characterisation of the array has been performed which has enabled optimised drive and signal processing electronics to be developed. The use of these new electronics has significantly improved both signal to noise ratio at high speed and flexibility over previous systems.

The reduction of nickel formate has been studied using this system and this data will be presented.
