Expected particle/albedo-photon Expected particle/albedo-photon background for an Equatorial background for an Equatorial
OrbitOrbit
• Particle flux from SAS-2 and BeppoSAX data (~0.3 cm-2 s-1 for Ekin 1 MeV )
• 3 main components: e+, e-, p • Spectral data from AMS and Marya• Assumptions: 1) isotropic distribution for e+, e-, and low
energy protons 2) sky-incidence for high energy p (Ekin
7 GeV )

It can be rejected by the on-board trigger because of the crucial use of the analog signal from the Si-microstrips providing information on cluster charges.

On-board GRID Background Rejection:
Particle background rates :- e+/e-: reduced by a factor ~ 100
- Protons: reduced by a factor ~ 1000
- Earth albedo -ray flux : reduced by a factor ~ 30
The GRID on-board background rejection is quite efficient, reducing the total charged-particle rate from ~ 2000 Hz to ~ 20 Hz.
