The HXD is designed to achieve an extremely low in-orbit background based on a combination of new techniques, including the concept of a well-type active shield counter. With an effective area of 142 cm(2) at 20 keV and 273 cm(2) at 150 keV, the background level at sea level reached similar to 1 X 10(-5) cts s(-1) cm(-2) keV(-1) at 30 keV for the PIN diodes, and similar to 2 X 10(-5) cts s(-1) cm(-2) keV(-1) at 100 keV, and similar to 7 X 10(-6) cts s(-1) cm(-2) keV(-1) at 200 keV for the phoswich counter. Tight active shielding of the HXD results in a large array of guard counters surrounding the main detector parts. These anti-coincidence counters, made of similar to 4 cm thick BGO crystals, have a large effective area for sub-MeV to MeV gamma-rays. They work as an excellent gamma-ray burst monitor with limited angular resolution (similar to 5 degrees). The on-board signal-processing system and the data transmitted to the ground are also described., text, application/pdf}, pages = {S35--S51}, title = {Hard X-ray Detector (HXD) on board Suzaku}, volume = {59}, year = {2007}, yomi = {タシロ, マコト} }
