Abstract

The work presented in this Tesi di Laurea arises from a collaboration between the IPL (Image Processing Laboratory) of the Dipartimento di Elettrotecnica, Elettronica ed Informatica (DEEI) at the University of Trieste and the Instrumentation and Detector Laboratory belonging to the ELETTRA Synchrotron Light Source of Trieste. Under the European Contract ERBFMGECT 980104 a project was active at ELETTRA with the objective to improve facilities for time resolved small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments within Europe. Partners of the project were, together with ELETTRA, other large scale facilities like the HASYLAB (Hamburger Synchrotron, Germany), the CCLRC (Daresbury Laboratory, UK), the ESRF (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble, France) and the University of Siegen (Germany). In particular the latest half of the time spent working on this project was based in the Arbeitsgruppe Detektorphysik und Elektronik belonging to the Faculty of Physics at the University of Siegen.
