dc.description.abstractWe present a summary of the ground calibration of the X-ray Mirror Assemblies (XMAs) for the XRISM satellite, that has been performed at the X-ray beamline at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. We used a scan method with a narrow X-ray pencil beam to calibrate both Resolve and Xtend XMAs, at eight different energies. In this paper, we give an overview of the measurement setup, and show the resulting on-axis and off-axis effective area response. Results of imaging performance, stray light, and performance variation across the aperture will be presented in separate publications.en_US
dc.description.sponsorshipXRISM is being developed under an international collaboration of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the European Space Agency (ESA). We thank warmly Dr. Yang Soong for his amazing work in the development and manufacturing of the XMAs, and for his support at the beamline facility. We acknowledge the efforts of the instrument teams of XRISM and Hitomi. This study was made possible by the collaborative efforts of members of the Resolve team, which we greatly appreciate. This material is based upon work supported by NASA under the project number FU662038. Part of this work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344.en_US
