* Description: The proton response matrix for the XMM-Newton telescope is composed by a Redistribution Matrix File (RMF)

mapping the proton energy space (from 2 to 300 keV) into detector pulse height and an Auxiliary Response File (ARF) 

collecting the grasp of the optics, the filter transmission efficiency and the detector quantum efficiency.

collecting the grasp of the optics, the filter transmission efficiency and the detector quantum efficiency. A PATTERN selection of 0 (only events that generate 1 pixel or Singles counts) is used.



The files are formatted according to the NASA OGIP (Office of Guest Investigators Program) calibration database (caldb) format, and they are tested with the NASA HEASARC XSPEC analysis software tool.
