A Technique for Estimating the Absolute Gain of a Photomultiplier Tube
M. Takahashi, Y. Inome, S. Yoshii +26
Detection of low-intensity light relies on the conversion of photons to photoelectrons, which are then multiplied and detected as an electrical signal. To measure the actual intens…
Data-oriented Diagnostics of Pileup Effects on the Suzaku XIS
Shin'ya Yamada, Hideki Uchiyama, Tadayasu Dotani +11
We present the result of a systematic study of pileup phenomena seen in the X-ray Imaging Spectrometer, an X-ray CCD instrument, onboard the Suzaku observatory. Using a data set of…
Improvements in calibration of GSO scintillators in the Suzaku Hard X-ray Detector
Shin'ya Yamada, Kazuo Makishima, Kazuhiro Nakazawa +27
Improvements of in-orbit calibration of GSO scintillators in the Hard X-ray Detector on board Suzaku are reported. To resolve an apparent change of the energy scale of GSO which ap…
