Re-Interpretation of OSO-III Scintillation Counter Measurements of Hard Solar X-Ray Spectra
Abstract
Laboratory tests show that pulse pile-up requires a significant correction to the response of scintillation counters to solar X-ray bursts with steep energy spectra. The interpretation of the OSO-III and other satellite data in view of these corrections indicates that steep solar X-ray spectra with varying emission measure produce an effect similar to that produced by relatively hard spectra with a constant emission measure.
