Scientific paper

The scientific goals and the principal design features of the Silicon X-ray Array (SIXA) detector to be flown on the Spectrum-X-gamma satellite are briefly reviewed. The SIXA detector has 19 parallel amplifier channels and an estimated resolution of 170-180 eV at 6 keV. Several measurement modes are available for different scientific measurements. The high sensitivity, broad energy range, and good resolution of the SIXA detector will provide high-quality, time-resolved X-ray spectra from a large sample of astronomical objects.
