  Abstract:
The Iranian Light Source Facility (ILSF) is a new 3 GeV third generation synchrotron radiation facility in Middle East, which at the time being is in its design stage. An important aspect for the scientific success of this new source will be the availability of well adapted detectors. Position-sensitive X-ray detectors have played an important role in synchrotron radiation X-ray experiments for many years and are still in use. An operational one-dimensional multiwire position sensitive detector with delay line readout produced by ILSF showed a position resolution of 230 μm. In this paper, we introduce a 2-D position sensitive gas detector based on a multiwire proportional chamber which will be used in small/wide angle scattering and diffraction experiments with synchrotron radiation at the ILSF. The parameters of its components, including the gas filling, gas pressure, temperature, the geometry of anode and cathodes planes as well as the expected performance of the designed system will be described in the following. For the design and the simulation of MWPC the Elmer and Garfield++ codes have been employed. We have built and tested a MWPC as a prototype at ILSF. The results obtained so far show a good position sensing. After primary test the detector has been optimized and is now ready for test at Elettra.
