Multi-technique investigation of silicon nitride/aluminum membranes as optical blocking filters for high-energy space missions Open
X-ray detectors for space astrophysics missions are susceptible to noise caused by photons with energies outside the operating energy range; for this reason, efficient external optical blocking filters are required to shield the detector f…
