Scientific paper

The phoswich detection system (PDS) is one of the four narrow field experiments on board the x-ray astronomy satellite BeppoSAX. PDS is devoted to deep temporal and spectral studies of celestial x-ray sources in the 15 - 300 keV energy band. It also includes a gamma-ray burst monitor. In this paper we compare the expected and observed in-flight performances. Our estimate of systematic errors in the background subtraction and in the spectral reconstruction are also presented and discussed.
