Results for “micro calorimeter detector response matrix”

Creating a Detector Response Matrix for the Micro-Calorimeter

To better understand the results from the micro calorimeter, a detector response matrix (DRM) was generated. This will allow to predict source responses, which in turn will improve the confidence in the instrument. To generate a DRM, the simulation package Rapid Adaptable Multi-threaded Particle and Radiation Transport Simulation (RAMPART) that utilizes underlying Geant4 libraries for particle transport was used to generate the simulation. A flat energy input spectrum ranging from 0 keV to 3000 keV was used to generate the response. 37 x 10 9 particles were simulated. In this report, the details and findings are presented.
