Tiny-box: A tool for the versatile development and characterization of low noise fast X-ray imaging detectors
Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Sven Herrmann, Steven Allen +8
X-ray Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) have been the workhorse for soft X-ray astronomical instruments for the past quarter century. They provide broad energy response, extremely low…
Identifying charged particle background events in X-ray imaging detectors with novel machine learning algorithms
D. R. Wilkins, S. W. Allen, E. D. Miller +8
Space-based X-ray detectors are subject to significant fluxes of charged particles in orbit, notably energetic cosmic ray protons, contributing a significant background. We develop…
Reducing the Athena WFI charged particle background: Results from Geant4 simulations
Catherine E. Grant, Eric D. Miller, Marshall W. Bautz +9
One of the science goals of the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on ESA's Athena X-ray observatory is to map hot gas structures in the universe, such as clusters and groups of galaxies and…
