Status of the pn spectral response in SAS5.4.1
Last meeting (Vilspa July 2002) The Oxygen edge: Fudge to reduce the depth RX J1856.5-3754: Redistribution at low energies (PEM)
Now implemented (SAS5.4.1) New Quantum Efficiency curve RX J1856.5-3754: Redistribution re-adjustment SW mode CTI correction: reduce over-correction

Current status of EPIC-pn responsePN 6.4
CTI under correction at 600 eV in FF mode (Vela) change will influence all modes (increases energies which are already too high) needs ´gain´ reduction at low energies can be done in energy-channel conversion in PEMCTE degradation seems to slow down some further monitoring before action
