X-ray facility for the ground calibration of the X-ray monitor JEM-X on board INTEGRAL
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2003
We describe the X-ray facility developed for the calibration of the X-ray monitor JEM-X on board the INTEGRAL satellite. The apparatus allowed the scanning of the detector geometric area with a pencil beam of desired energy over the major part of the passband of the instrument. The monochromatic radiation is obtained with the use of a double crystal monochromator at fixed exit. We discuss the facility performance.
