Suzaku Hard X-ray Detector (HXD) achieved the lowest background level than any other previously or currently operational missions sensitive in the energy range of 10–600 keV, by utilizing PIN photodiodes and GSO scintillators mounted in BGO active shields to reject particle background and Compton-scattered events as much as possible. Because it does not have an imaging capability nor rocking mode ...
