Scientific paper

The MPI/AIT X ray Imager (MAXI), part of a proposal submitted to ESA as focal plane instrumentation of the X ray Multi Mirror Mission (XMM) is presented. A fully depleted (sensitive) pn Charge Coupled Device (CCD) of 280 micrometers thickness with a homogenous sensitivity area of 36 square centimeters and a pixel size of 150 by 150 square micrometers, is proposed. This CCD is well matched with the telescope's angular resolution of 30 arc sec. X ray sensitivity and other performance characteristics of the telescope are outlined. Tests carried out on prototype components of the camera system are described.
