The measurement of micron sized impact fragment using delay line detector
Abstract
ATHENA is a successor of the X-ray mission XMM-Newton telescope. A special issue for the ATHENA telescope is the possible scattering of micron sized particles through the mirror shells, which might damage on the CCD optical system. The generation of scattering fragment particles upon hypervelocity impact under an oblique angle is of central interest for this project. The ejecta generation is characterized by the distributions of size, mass, velocity and ejection angles. In this study, we employ MCP detector with delay line anode to monitor impact ejecta.
