The atmospheric X-ray imaging spectrometer (AXIS) instrument: Quantifying energetic particle precipitation through bremsstrahlung X-ray imaging
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Atmospheric X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (AXIS) described in this work is a compact, wide field-of-view, hard x-ray imager. The AXIS instrument will fly onboard the Atmospheric Effects of Precipitation through Energetic X-rays (AEPEX) 6U CubeSat mission and will measure bremsstrahlung x-ray photons in the 50-240 keV range with cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) detectors using coded aperture optics. AXIS will measure photons generated by energetic particle precipitation for the purpose of determining the spatial scales of precipitation and estimating electron precipitation characteristics. This paper describes the design and testing of the AXIS instrument, including a summary of simulations performed that motivate the shielding, optics, and mechanical design. Testing and characterization is reported that validates the instrument design and shows that the instrument design meets or exceeds the measurement requirements necessary for AEPEX mission success.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
