CAL campaign 2007

The EPIC consortium together with the XMM-SOC will start a major (cross)calibration campaign in order to try to resolve pending calibration issues and to bring the EPIC calibration to the next higher level of quality.

· 2007 (CAL accuracy 10 %)
­ cal campaign as described

future calibration issues and timescale

­ build up Suzaku cross cal + more CHANDRA cross cal

· 2008-2010 (Goal: Cal accuracy ~ statistical uncertainty)
­ pn new redistribution and rate dependent CTI --> deeper investigation and SAS development ­ MOS patch calibration currently rather crude --> deeper investigation and SAS development ­ full EPIC off axis calibration --> deeper investigation and SAS development ­ pn double effect behaviour + pn-vent hole effects --> deeper investigation and SAS development

sufficient expertise in SAS support in combination with calibration is needed at least till 2011 (ESAC: 2.5 FTE EPIC calibration + 1 FTE EPIC SAS)

· as of 2011
­ routine instrument monitoring (CTI, BAD PIX, offset) --> routine CAL updates (CTI, BAD PIX, offset) ­ contingency calibration....(if possible at all?)
