Its history has been continuously and strongly linked to the technical progress of sensors. We review here different aspects of this symbiotic relation, for photon sensors and other devices. We also analyze its probable future developments, specifically in light of the new x-ray free electron lasers.Engineering, Electrical & ElectronicInstruments & InstrumentationPhysics, AppliedEngineeringPhysicsphotonicsdetectorssynchrotronsx-ray imagingenergy resolutionx-ray laserssynchrotron radiationundulatorsx-ray detectorsposition controlimage sensorsmicroscopyradiographytomographyspectroscopyelectron acceleratorslorentz covariancex-ray-detectorspixel detectorzone platesinductanceresolutionperformancesilicontext::journal::journal article::research article
