A high sensitivity broad band spectrometer operating in the energy band 1 to 10 keV for an ESA X ray spectroscopy mission is described. The detector system, based on a CCD imager, offers spectral resolution comparable with solid state Si(Li) detectors but with spatial resolution matched to the telescope, allowing simultaneous mapping of extended sources and discrimination between point sources in crowded fields. In results from EEV/GEC CCDs, and energy resolution of 150 eV at 5.9 keV is obtained with a P 8607 device, while the experimental high resistivity device P 8600-HR has an energy resolution of 245 eV combined with a quantum efficiency of 70% at 5.9 keV. The results are substantial advances over state-of-the-art X-ray imaging CCD's.
