Previous: Column DETCODE
The detector type should be specified, so that programs using the data
can have approximate information about the spectral response and other
characteristics of the detector.
The primary indicator is a character column, DET,
which contains
'PMT'
if the detector is a photomultiplier;
'SILICON'
for Si-CCDs and Si photodiodes; or
'OTHER'
for any other type.
(As detector technology evolves, one would expect to extend
this list.)
