The current status and the improvements of in-orbit calibration in the Hard X-ray Detector (HXD) on board Suzaku are presented. We have been extensively monitoring and calibrating the in-orbit HXD performance, and succeeded in keeping all the sensors working property without any significant troubles since the launch. To reduce the increasing thermal noise events due to radiation damage in the HXD-PIN, we have raised the analog/digital threshold levels and updated the corresponding responses of the PIN. Performing the calibration of the energy scale of the GSO, we have improved the accuracy of the energy scale and modeling of gain variations, and released the reprocessed data/background and the responses since April of 2010. These revised data of the GSO is usable down to 50 keV, consequently allowing us to utilize overlapping energy ranges of 50-70 keV between the PIN and the GSO. Based on these improvements, we have reproduced the HXD spectra of the Crab Nebula over 10-500 keV with the broken power law with a cutoff at about 120 keV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
