Abstract :
The ANS Hard X-Ray Experiment is an X-Ray spectrometer gathering astronomical data through two pairs of proportional counters. One set of detectors obtains both spectral and spatial resolution by Bragg reflection. The other pair obtains spatial resolution with a compound collimator and spectral resolution by means of pulseheight analysis.
