General Notes


Chapter Notes


Introduction

There was talk of including information from VETA-I in this chapter. It has seen some reorganization (things were moved to appendices.) The tests matrix should probably be moved to an appendix as well, although the description of the tests should stay here.


Summary

None as yet.


The HXDS Solid State Detectors

The icing section is rather incomplete:
\subsection{Icing}

Description of the detector and modeling of ice build up (we hope).

Trends of ice build up as a function of time

Nice plots again, etc.

[??]


Deadtime and Pileup Correction in the HXDS FPCs and SSDs


High Speed Imager Calibration

This appears to be unfinished. The text requires clarification, and some of the figures contain errors. It is unclear if this will actually be done.

[IE]


Simulations

This is pretty rough. This needs to be expanded, and the differences between the models used in the report (there are unfortunately several) should be made clear.

[DJ]


HRMA Effective Area: SSD C-continuum Measurements

The latest models with the new synchrotron reflectivity should be incorporated.

[PZ]


HRMA Effective Area: Spectral Line Measurements

Incorporate DCM results.

[RJE]


Fitting the HRMA Effective Area

This chapter needs to be linked with the simulations chapter, perhaps. It needs more context. It is somewhat historical at present.


Wing Scans: Data Reduction and Pinhole Effective Areas

??

[TJG]


Wing Scans: Analysis

??

[TJG]


Encircled Energy

The latest raytraces must be incorporated.

[DJ]


Off Axis Effective Area

This chapter has not yet been written. Our simulations are at an advanced state, and we should be able to begin writing this one shortly. [DJ, KM]


HRMA PSF

This chapter has not been brought over from the preliminary report, as the models have changed dramatically. As time permits, I intend to work on this, including the LRF results.

[DJ]


Ghost Rays

This chapter has not yet been written.


Analysis of the "Mesh-Plane" HSI Image

This chapter is unfinished. TJG is performing more analysis, and by the looks of the text, has created more questions than answers.

[TJG]


Off-Axis Images

A lot of images, but not much text. TJG is working on this at some level. Needs to be redone(?) because of new HRMA pointing information.

[TJG]


Predictions of the On-orbit Performance

Not written yet. Incorporate PZ's on-orbit hrma stuff as well as some of the off-axis effective area from here

[DJ]


HRMA Focus Measurements and Raytrace Update

[TJG, DJ]

Rigid-Body Misalignment Parameters

It should be made clear that these parameters are the basis for the alignment parameters used in the raytraces, and that they have been augmented by the axial parfocalization and decenter data. In particular the Future Directions section should be updated. The word preliminary is scattered about; if these studies haven't been redone, perhaps that word should be removed or changed in tone.

[TJG]


HRMA Tilts at XRCF

Rerun tilt simulations with finite source size and current quadrant shutter model, rather than simple "wedges".

[DJ]


HRMA Off-Axis Focal Positions

Rerun tilt simulations with finite source size, current quadrant shutter model, and current XRCF configuration (that used in the chapter didn't include the decenters and tilts).

[DJ]


Internal Tilt-Compensated Coma-Free Decenter of the AXAF mirrors

Terry's latest results should be incorporated. The Future Directions section should be updated.
