Talk STIX general status Session 1

Speaker

Description

After more than 6 years in flight and 100k+ flare events registered, the STIX detectors are in a good shape even though they tend to degrade overtime.
In this presentation, I will report on the detector status, calibration monitoring with a specific attention on the detector depolarization phases when the scientific analysis requires some precautions.
