4.1.3.2 Assumptions for quantum efficiency measurements

1.
Tritium and HEXS were both used.
2.
The nominal flux of 6400 ct/CCD/frametime was used.
3.
The reference detector was illuminated by chopping.
4.
``Variable voltage'' measurements were made at two energies to confirm depletion depth measurements.
5.
To minimize pump-down overhead, quantum efficiency measurements were made immediately after high-energy spectral resolution measurements.
