Titolo: | Filters for X-ray detectors on Space missions | Autori: | BARBERA, Marco LO CICERO, UGO SCIORTINO, LUISA |
Data pubblicazione: | 2023 | Titolo del volume in cui è pubblicato il poster: | Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray Astrophysics | Da pagina:: | 1 | Abstract: | Thin filters and gas tight windows are used in Space to protect sensitive X-ray detectors from out-of-band electromagnetic radiation, low-energy particles, and molecular contamination. Though very thin and made of light materials, filters are not fully transparent to X-rays. For this reason, they ultimately define the detector quantum efficiency at low energies. In this chapter, we initially provide a brief overview of filter materials and specific designs adopted on space experiments with main focus on detectors operating at the focal plane of grazing incidence X-ray telescopes. We then provide a series of inputs driving the design and development of filters for high-energy astrophysics space missions. We begin with the identification of the main functional goals and requirements driving the preliminary design, and identify modeling tools and experimental characterization techniques needed to prove the technology and consolidate the design. Finally, we describe the calibra- tion activities required to derive the filter response with high accuracy. We conclude with some hints on materials and technologies presently under investigation for future X-ray missions. | Note: | Book reference: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-4544-0 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/34505 | URL: | https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.06781 https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007/978-981-16-4544-0_30-1 |
