Background Simulations of the Wide Field Imager of the ATHENA X-Ray Observatory
Steffen Hauf, Markus Kuster, Maria Grazia Pia +5
The ATHENA X-ray Observatory-IXO is a planned multinational orbiting X-ray observatory with a focal length of 11.5m. ATHENA aims to perform pointed observations in an energy range…
Quantifying the unknown: issues in simulation validation and their experimental impact
M. G. Pia, M. Batic, G. Hoff +10
The assessment of the reliability of Monte Carlo simulations is discussed, with emphasis on uncertainty quantification and the related impact on experimental results. Methods and t…
Ionization cross sections for low energy electron transport
Hee Seo, Maria Grazia Pia, Paolo Saracco +1
Two models for the calculation of ionization cross sections by electron impact on atoms, the Binary-Encouter-Bethe and the Deutsch-Maerk models, have been implemented; they are int…
ISICSoo: a class for the calculation of ionization cross sections from ECPSSR and PWBA theory
Matej Batic, Maria Grazia Pia, Sam J. Cipolla
ISICS, originally a C language program for calculating K-, L- and M-shell ionization and X-ray production cross sections from ECPSSR and PWBA theory, has been reengineered into a C…
Evaluation of atomic electron binding energies for Monte Carlo particle transport
Maria Grazia Pia, Hee Seo, Matej Batic +4
A survey of atomic binding energies used by general purpose Monte Carlo systems is reported. Various compilations of these parameters have been evaluated; their accuracy is estimat…
