IACHEC Charter
The IACHEC aims to provide standards for high-energy calibration and supervise cross-calibration between different missions. This goal is reached through working groups, where IACHEC members cooperate to define calibration standards and procedures. The scope of these groups is primarily a practical one: a set of data and results (eventually published in refereed journals) will be the outcome of a coordinated and standardized analysis of reference sources (“high-energy standard candles”). Past, present, and future high-energy missions can use these results as a calibration reference.
