Impact of space protons and electrons scattering through the IXO telescope mirrors

A study was performed of the impact on the IXO focal plane detectors of electrons and low energy protons penetrating through the X-ray optics by a combination of reflection and scattering processes. Total (non-ionizing) dose and flux levels were obtained as a support to a detailed design of the miss...

Summary:A study was performed of the impact on the IXO focal plane detectors of electrons and low energy protons penetrating through the X-ray optics by a combination of reflection and scattering processes. Total (non-ionizing) dose and flux levels were obtained as a support to a detailed design of the mission configuration.
