The 2โ€“8 keV cosmic X-ray background spectrum as observed with XMM-Newton

The 2โ€“8 keV cosmic X-ray background spectrum as observed with XMM-Newton

We have measured the spectrum of the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB) in the 2-8 keV range with the high throughput EPIC/MOS instrument onboard XMM-Newton. A large sample of high galactic latitude observations was used, covering a total solid angle of 5.5 square degrees. Our study is based on a very โ€ฆ
