Scientific paper

The RGS experiment on the X-ray Multi-Mirror (XMM) spacecraft will consist of two identical medium-resolution (lambda/Delta-lambda = 100-560) reflection-grating spectrometers operating in the 5-35-A range. The dispersed X-ray beam will be detected by an array of 10 CCDs (nine for spectroscopy and one for wavelength and alignment calibration). This paper describes the requirements on CCD performance as well as the first results obtained with a special test setup designed to allow optimum flexibility in changing all CCD parameters (clock sequences, slopes, bias voltages, etc.) under software control.
