Impressive efforts have been made to develop new types of detectors and new techniques, aiming to obtain higher precision both in terms of energy and position. Depending on the applications, solid state detectors, microcalorimeters, and various types of spectrometers currently serve as the best options for spectroscopic and imaging detectors. Recent advancements in micron and meV precision have opened the door for groundbreaking applications in fundamental physics, medical science, astrophysics, cultural heritage, and several other fields. The aim of this Special Issue is to compile an overview, from different communities and research fields, of the most recent developments in X-ray detection and their possible impacts in various sectors, such as in exotic atom measurements, quantum physics studies, XRF, XES, EXAFS, plasma emission spectroscopy, monochromators, synchrotron radiation, telescopes, and space engineering. All the papers included in this Special Issue contribute to emphasizing the importance of X-ray detection in a very broad range of physics topics; most of these topics are covered by the published works, and several others are mentioned in the paper references, providing an interesting and very useful synopsis, from a variety of different communities and research fields, of the most recent developments in X-ray detection and their impact in fundamental research and societal applications. 610 $aCompton camera 610 $aand detectors 610 $aX-ray detectors 610 $acoherent imaging 610 $aX-ray and ?-ray spectrometers 610 $amagnetic multilayers 610 $aX-ray diffraction 610 $aX-ray spectroscopy 610 $aXAS 610 $ascintillation detector 610 $aX-ray absorption 610 $aXRF 610 $aHAPG 610 $asoft X-rays 610 $agratings 610 $avon Hamos 610 $aradiation detectors 610 $aamylin 610 $asynchrotron radiation 610 $ahigh energy resolution fluorescence detection 610 $aoptical materials 610 $aHOPG 610 $amolybdenum 610 $aPyrolytic Graphite 610 $amosaic spread 610 $amirrors 610 $aquantum foundations 610 $astrong interaction 610 $aMössbauer spectroscopy 610 $amultidisciplinarity 610 $aCompton scattering 610 $aPauli exclusion principle 610 $afree electron lasers 610 $aX- and ?-ray instruments 610 $asilicon photomultiplier 610 $akaonic atoms 610 $astanding waves 610 $aX- and ?-ray sources 610 $agraphite crystals 610 $amosaicity 610 $aX-ray source facilities 610 $arocking curve 610 $aoptical instruments and equipment 610 $aphotodetectors 610 $aTM oxides 610 $aX-ray reflectivity 610 $abeamlines 610 $aX-ray 610 $aXAFS 610 $asolid-state detectors 610 $aunderground experiment 610 $amaterial investigation 610 $amaterial science 610 $athin films 610 $aX-ray Raman 610 $amedical applications 610 $aTHz radiation 610 $aX-ray absorption spectroscopy 610 $apositron emission tomography 700 $aScordo$b Alessandro$4auth$01281250 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367565303321 996 $aHigh Precision X-Ray Measurements$93018423 997 $aUNINA
