The X-PIPS Detector is a spectroscopy sub-system sensitive to X-rays and low-energy gamma rays. It comprises a hermetically sealed silicon drift detector (SDD) element with a low noise FET assembly and Peltier cooler. The detector element and FET preamplifier are cooled. The Beryllium entrance window is standard 0.5 mil.
