More about GOES/SEM/XRS

0. Introduction

0.1 Interaction of high-energy photons with matter(atoms)

[GOES/SEM/XRS] observing range :
1 - 8 Å (softer channel, long channel)
0.5 - 4 Å (harder channel, short channel)

[eV]·[nm]=1240
[keV]·[Å]=12.4     ∴    1 - 10 (Å) ↔ 1.24 - 12.4 (keV),

0.2 Photoelectronic effect detectors
