The Marshall Grazing Incidence Spectrometer {it MaGIXS} is a sounding rocket experiment that will observe the soft X-ray spectrum of the Sun from 24 - 6.0 AA (0.5 - 2.0 keV) and is scheduled for launch in 2021. Component and instrument level calibrations for the {it MaGIXS} instrument are carried out using the X-ray and Cryogenic Facility (XRCF) at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. In this paper, we present the calibration of the incident X-ray flux from the electron impact source with different targets at the XRCF using a CCD camera; the photon flux at the CCD was low enough to enable its use as a photon counter i.e. the ability to identify individual photon hits and calculate their energy. The goal of this paper is two-fold: 1) to confirm that the flux measured by the XRCF beam normalization detectors is consistent with the values reported in the literature and therefore reliable for {it MaGIXS} calibration and 2) to develop a method of counting photons in CCD images that best captures their number and energy
The Marshall Grazing Incidence X-ray Spectrometer (MaGIXS) is a sounding rocket experiment that observes the soft X-ray spectrum of the Sun from 6.0 - 24 Angstrom (0.5 - 2.0 keV), successfully launched on 30 July 2021. End-to-end alignment of the fli
Calibration of X-ray detectors is very important to understand the performance characteristics of the detectors and their variation with time and changing operational conditions. This enables the most accurate translation of the measurements to absol
The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) mission is the first focusing X-ray telescope in the hard X-ray (3-79 keV) band. Among the phenomena that can be studied in this energy band, some require high time resolution and stability: rotation
