Narrow-beam X-ray tests of CCD edge response

The physical boundaries of a fully-depleted CCD can lead to distorted field lines and non-uniform response. We study this response with a beam of X-rays constrained to a width of less than one pixel (15 m), and a system to map the CCD response as a function of transverse position.
