Figure 2: Internal diagnostic pulse height spectra from the OBCU for (left) in-flight operation and (right) during ground calibrations. The individual Gaussian fits to the 511, 1275 and 1786 lines, together with an exponential background component, are shown together with the recorded spectrum. |

Figure 6: Distribution of detected calibration photons across the PICsIT detector plane. The non-uniform distribution derives from a combination of source flux, detection efficiency and tagging efficiency. Note the presence of a few permanently off pixels. |
