Up to 400 multi hits per 1 µs
Burst rates above 100 MCPS equivalent
60 x 60 mm² (or 80 x 80 mm²) active area of DLD body
and  80 mm active MCP area
Down to 30 µm of pixel size
< 250 ps over all time resolution
Linear response due to single event counting
Extremely low dark count rate:  0.2 cps/ cm²
Up to 40 MCPS random hit rate in 2D/3D mode
Position sensitive 4 Quadrant DLD layouts
3D-DLD4040-4Q (80 mm diameter) and 3D-DLD3030-4Q (60 mm diameter):
4 fold segmented DLD using 4 independent DLD readout systems in parallel
each segment has low dead times (15 ns DLD4040-4Q / 9 ns DLD3030-4Q)

3. 256 Multi-Lines at the MCP anode as separated 1D-Delay Lines
Single particle detectors but > 100 Multihits by means of multiline MCP detectors!!!
The logical consequence: 256 fold multi-line delay line detectors where as each line is working separately: multi hit capability will exceed 100 when each 1D-delay line can detect double hits!
Callenging Project of Surface Concept in collaboration with CFEL at European XFEL in Hamburg:
256 Multi-Lines at the MCP anode as separated 1D-Delay Lines
