Calibration strategies for the LAD instrument on-board LOFT
The Scientific objectives of the LOFT mission, e.g., the study of the Neutron Star equation of state and of the Strong Gravity, require accurate energy, time and flux calibration for the 516k channels of the SDD detectors, as well as the knowledge of the detector dead time and of the detector response with respect to the incident angle of the photons. We report here the evaluations made to asse...
متن کاملConstruction and Calibration of the NIST Large-Area-Source X-Ray Counting System
This paper describes the construction and calibration of the NIST large area x-ray counting system. 238Pu sources 8 in (20.32 cm) by 5 in (12.70 cm) thick, emitting L x rays in the range of 12-20 keV are calibrated for total emission rate and also for rate through a centrally located 3 in (7.63 cm) diameter aperture. Alpha particle emission rates are obtained using the known x-ray to alpha part...
متن کاملenvironmental effects of gol-e-gohar iron ore mine on groundwater of the area
gol-e-gohar iron ore mine of sirjan in southern part of iran is a large open pit that operates below the groundwater table and during mining operation, dewatering is required to prevent operation processes from flooding. current operation is going on by digging wells in or out of the pit and pumping to prevent flooding. as a result of the former dewatering operation a vast deep cone of depressi...
X-ray polarimetry on-board HXMT
The development of micropixel gas detectors, capable to image tracks produced in a gas by photoelectrons, makes possible to perform polarimetry of X-ray celestial sources in the focus of grazing incidence X-ray telescopes. HXMT is a mission by the Chinese Space Agency aimed to survey the Hard X-ray Sky with Phoswich detectors, by exploitation of the direct demodulation technique. Since a fracti...
