Scientific paper

The scientific instrumentation on board SAX includes a Medium Energy Concentrator/Spectrometer (MECS), operating in the 1.3-10 keV energy range, which consists of three identical instruments, composed by a grazing incidence mirror unit with a focal length of 185 cm and by a position sensitive gas scintillation proportional counter. The authors give a brief description of the ground calibrations of the MECS, performed at the X-ray PANTER facility, and of their analysis.
