Abstract

The 100-m X-ray Test Facility of the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) was initially proposed in 2012 for the test and calibration of the X-ray detectors of the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT) with the capability to support future X-ray missions. The large instrument chamber connected with a long vacuum tube can accommodate the X-ray mirror, focal plane detector and other instruments. The X-ray sources are installed at the other end of the vacuum tube with a distance of 105 m, which can provide an almost parallel X-ray beam covering 0.2\(\sim\)60 keV energy band. The X-ray mirror modules of the Einstein Probe (EP) and the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission (eXTP) and payload of the Gravitational wave high-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor (GECAM) have been tested and calibrated with this facility. It has been also used to characterize the focal plane camera and aluminum filter used on the Einstein Probe. In this paper, we will introduce the overall configuration and capability of the facility, and give a brief introduction of some calibration results performed with this facility.

IHEP的100米x射线测试设施

高能物理研究所(IHEP)的100米x射线测试设施最初于2012年提出，用于测试和校准硬x射线调制望远镜(HXMT)的x射线探测器，具有支持未来x射线任务的能力。与长真空管相连的大型仪器室可容纳x射线反射镜、焦平面探测器等仪器。x射线源安装在真空管的另一端，距离为105 m，可以提供几乎平行的x射线束，覆盖0.2 \(\sim\) 60 keV的能带。爱因斯坦探测器(EP)的x射线反射镜模块和增强x射线定时和偏振测量任务(eXTP)以及引力波高能电磁对偶全天监测器(GECAM)的有效载荷已经在该设备上进行了测试和校准。它也被用来表征焦平面相机和爱因斯坦探测器上使用的铝滤光片。在本文中，我们将介绍该设备的总体配置和功能，并简要介绍使用该设备进行的一些校准结果。

期刊介绍： Many new instruments for observing astronomical objects at a variety of wavelengths have been and are continually being developed. Furthermore, a vast amount of effort is being put into the development of new techniques for data analysis in order to cope with great streams of data collected by these instruments. Experimental Astronomy acts as a medium for the publication of papers of contemporary scientific interest on astrophysical instrumentation and methods necessary for the conduct of astronomy at all wavelength fields. Experimental Astronomy publishes full-length articles, research letters and reviews on developments in detection techniques, instruments, and data analysis and image processing techniques. Occasional special issues are published, giving an in-depth presentation of the instrumentation and/or analysis connected with specific projects, such as satellite experiments or ground-based telescopes, or of specialized techniques.
