Magnetospheric and interplanetary electrons can cause problems to X-ray grazing incidence telescope since they can enter the mirror shells and further reach the detector or interact with them hereby producing X-ray emission. An analytical model is presented to evaluate these effects and is briefly compared to previous existing models. An upper bound of the expected level of particle induced background is derived using an electron flux model in the range 1 keV to several MeV derived from ISEE particle measurements and interplanetary measurements. This study suggests that energetic plasma environment monitoring method should be considered as a support to provide additional quality control of X-ray measurements.
