line atomic transition used to generate x-rays
energy peak energy of emission line (eV)
QEBND calculated quantum efficiency of the BND flow proportional counter, taken from cross calibration table
BND solid angle subtended by the BND during the cross calibration measurements, based on window area and distance from source (steradians)
RMCP net rate (background subtracted and corrected for dead time) on the MCP during flat field measurements (counts/second)
open total open region of the MCP. Due to vignetting during the pre-fix data runs, pre-fix values for the open region are not included.
coated CsI coated region of the MCP. Due to vignetting during the pre-fix data runs, pre-fix values for the coated region are not included.
central square region occupying central 12.1% of the total open region
RMD net rate (background subtracted) on the monitor detector flow proportional counter during flat field ("with MCP") and cross calibration ("with BND") measurements (counts/second). Pre-fix flat fields are calibrated using cross calibrations made 3-5 June. Post-fix flat fields are calibrated using cross calibrations made on 12, 17 June
