The high energy synchrotron radiation beamline PETRA-2 at HASYLAB has been
extended by two 2D-position sensitive multi-wire Xe/CO2 detectors with an a
ctive area of (300 mm)(2) and a detection probability of similar to 10% for
100 keV photons. The detectors may be placed at distances between similar
to 1 m and 8 m from the sample in order to cover large space angles or to m
easure with high resolution, respectively. Fast 3D-data acquisition systems
allow for analyses of continuous processes with excellent time resolution
and sample movements during measurements with continuously operating detect
ors. The experimental set up will be especially used for analyses of residu
al stresses, local textures and kinetics of phase transformations. (C) 2001
