Characterisation of the Particle-Induced Background of XMM-Newton EPIC-pn: Short and Long Term Variability

Kavli Affiliate: Catherine Grant | First 5 Authors: Esra Bulbul, Ralph Kraft, Paul Nulsen, Michael Freyberg, Eric D. Miller | Summary: The particle-induced background of X-ray observatories is produced by Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) primary protons, electrons, and He ions. Events due to direct interaction with the detector are usually removed by on board processing. […]
