As a backup safeguard he was directed to walk through an airport-type X-ray detector.
The pulsar provides a strong periodic signal that is used to check the timing of the X-ray detectors.
One, an X-ray detector, worked fine until Saturday night, when it suddenly shut down.
The hard X-ray detectors operated in the range 15-150 keV.
It is used in semiconductors and gamma ray and X-ray detectors.
X-ray detectors vary in shape and function depending on their purpose.
X-ray detectors can be either photon counting or integrating.
Their chief characteristics compared with other X-ray detectors are:
The instrumentation included optical sensors mounted on the outside of the station together with the X-ray detectors.
This interference pattern is detected with an X-ray detector behind the analyzer crystal.
