abstract:
We describe the X-ray facility developed
for the calibration of the X-ray
monitor JEM-X on board the INTEGRAL
satellite. The apparatus allowed the
scanning of the detector geometric area
with a pencil beam of desired
energy over the major part of the passband
of the instrument. The
monochromatic radiation is obtained with
the use of a double crystal
monochromator at fixed exit. We discuss the
facility performance.
