New analysis method for CCD X-ray data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The analysis method developed for kaonic nitrogen X-ray data obtained at the DAFNE electron–positron collider of Frascati National Laboratories using Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs) in the DEAR experimental setup is described. Background events could be highly rejected by this analysis procedure. Three sequential X-ray lines from kaonic nitrogen transitions, showing good energy resolution, could be clearly identified, and the yields measured for the first time. PACS: 36.10.Gv; 14.40.Aq; 29.30.Kv

Spectral classification of sources in XMM-Newton X-ray observation of the rapidly accreting young star V1647 Ori
The XMM-Newton observatory is collecting a tremendous amount of X-ray imaging spectroscopy data. To deal with this huge volume of data, we are investigating more efficient methods to classify astronomical sources based purely on their X-ray spectra, and to understand the fundamental physical mechanisms responsible for X-ray emission. Multivariate statistics and pattern classification techniques...
متن کاملA sol-gel based method for preparation of Ni/La-Al2O3 as a new catalyst for dechlorination of monochlorobenzene
In this study, two new Ni/La-Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by a sol-gel method, with different aluminium precursors (aluminium triisopropoxide and aluminium nitrate). The catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET specific surface area, and particle size analysis (PSA) techniques. The BET results showed that the par...
متن کاملImproved Western blot detection using CCD digital imaging: Comparison of cooled-CCD digital imaging versus X-ray film
Chemiluminescent Western blotting is a popular protein detection method for studying proteins. The typical protocol for measuring chemiluminescent signal exposes the Western blot to laboratory-grade X-ray film, but digital imaging using a cooled-CCD camera is proving to be a more functional choice for researchers. The Thermo Scientific MYECL Imager offers digital imaging with a number of improv...
متن کاملThe effects of cosmic ray filtering on low intensity X-ray CCD data
Various methods exist to filter cosmic rays from X-ray CCD images with weak X-ray spectra. Distortions of the characteristics of a spectral profile such as peak centroid and relative integrated peak intensities must be kept to a minimum. Optimum methods are those minimising error bars and widths on the final centroid determination and on relative intensities which remain consistent with the wid...
متن کاملEnergetic Interactions Within the Solid - Statg Spectrometer of the ASCA Satellite
ASCA is a broad band (0.3 12 keV) x-ray astrophysical observatory in which various instruments operate with high throughput and high spectral resolution. Detailed examination of the method in which photoelectronic interactions occur in the Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) of the Solid-State Imaging Spectrometer (SIS) on ASCA reveals a sudden variation in the nearly linear CCD signal output versus ...
