Fast counting applications with energy discrimination like X-ray absorption spectroscopy require an energy resolution of some hundred eV even at highest count rates and ask for small form factors. The development, fabrication and test of a small number of 7-cell Si-drift detectors have been successfully finished at DESY fitting these claims with a good cost-versus-performance tradeoff. The monolithic...
