摘要
The problem of event pileup in single-photon-counting CCD cameras (e.g., in the X-ray regime) is discussed, and a solution to the problem is proposed. The resulting pileup equation includes the effects of grade migration and presents itself as a nonlinear modification to the standard integral equation used by forward-folding spectral-fitting programs. The effectiveness of the model is demonstrated by its application to the moderately piled zeroth-order data obtained by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory for the quasar S5 0836 + 7104.
