High-statistics simulations of NewAthena WFI background using Geant4
Matthew K. Heine, Catherine E. Grant, Marshall W. Bautz +14
The paper presents high‑statistics Geant4 simulations of the background caused by cosmic‑ray interactions in the Wide Field Imager of ESA's NewAthena X‑ray observatory, using both…
Observatory Science with eXTP
Ping Zhou, Jirong Mao, Liang Zhang +97
Scheduled for launch in 2030, the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarization (eXTP) telescope is a Chinese space-based mission aimed at studying extreme conditions and phenomena in ast…
Using the XMM-Newton small window mode to investigate systematic uncertainties in the particle background of X-ray charge-coupled device detectors
Gerrit Schellenberger, Ralph Kraft, Paul Nulsen +17
The level and uncertainty of the particle induced background in CCD detectors plays a crucial role for future X-ray instruments, such as the Wide Field Imager (WFI) onboard Athena.…
