Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Conference Paper Description
This work deals with the first characterization results of an X-ray detection module developed within the scope of SIDDHARTA experiment. SIDDHARTA is a nuclear physics experiment aimed at the study of strong nuclear interactions using exotic atoms. This is achieved using monolithic arrays of Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs), each consisting of eight SDD elements arranged in a 2x4 format (total area 18x34 mm2). A total of 48 SDD arrays arranged on a gantry structure are required to perform the experiment. Each SDD element is coupled to a CUBE pre-amplifier with the consequent shaping amplifier and complementary analog electronic stages implemented in a custom developed 16-channel SFERA chip. During the experiment, SDD arrays must be cooled down to cryogenic temperature below 120 K to perform X-ray spectroscopy to assess spread/shift of energy levels of exotic kaonic atoms. Alongside the cryogenic operation, the X-ray spectrometer needs to operate with a linearity of around 1% with an output stability of a few eV/day. This work describes the preliminary characterization results of cryogenically cooled 2x4 SDD arrays readout by SFERA chip. These include X-ray spectroscopy, stability and linearity performances.
