Abstract
X-ray spectroscopy discrepancies at measured energies below 50 keV are shown through ITS detector response calculations to be caused by germanium K edge escape peak losses. Accounting for this detector response, CEPXS/ONELD transport calculations through silicon agree well with measurements
