TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the efficiency of thermal neutron detection with two standard MCP geometries: circularpore and square-pore microchannel plates doped with the /sup 10/B isotope, and showed that the detection of thermal neutrons with a square-Pore MCP is 11-23% more efficient than for the circular geometry, and can be as high as /spl sim/80% for the existing MCP technology.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the performance of noiseless array detectors and CCDs using the best available characteristics of each, and show that for sub-aperture binning of 6x6 and greater, noisless detectors have a smaller centroid error at fluences of 60 photons or less, though the specific number is dependent on seeing conditions and the centroid algorithm used.

TL;DR: In this paper, a high-temporal and -spatial resolution, high-throughput sealed tube micro-channel plate detector with electronic readout was developed for ground-based high-time resolution astronomical observations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the resolution limits of the cross-strip readout of a microchannel plate (MCP) detector with a cross strip readout and show that the accuracy of the position obtained for center of gravity centroiding of the charge distribution is inferior to fitting a Gaussian-like analytical function, providing the geometry of the anode is accurate enough.

TL;DR: In this paper, the cross strip anode has a coarse (0.5 mm) multilayer metal and ceramic cross strip pattern that encodes event positions by direct sensing of the charge on each strip and subsequent determination of charge cloud centroid for each event.
