摘要：

We report the current status of the analysis of the MECS background using the entire dataset of the BeppoSAX Science performance Verification Phase. We have collected 360 ks of dark Earth instrumental background, 470 ks of bright Earth background and 1100 ks of blank field data. We are attempting to model the instrumental background in terms of its various components (in particular the spatial modulation of the residual contamination by the built-in Fe calibration sources), and then use this model, and the information on the vignetting and the PSF to derive the cosmic background in the 2-10 keV range.
