HXD: Background modeling (PIN)
Calibration status and caveats
- PIN background
See Suzaku memo 2006-42 for details of the background modeling.
Note that reproducibility of the current PIN background model is known to be significantly worse during the period of 2006 March-May. Thus users should NOT use "bgd_a" files for that period.
