  The detection efficiency and response function of a Si(Li) detector element
for the SIXA spectrometer have been determined in the 500 eV to 5 keV energy
range using synchrotron radiation emitted at a bending magnet of the electron
storage ring BESSY, which is a primary radiation standard. The agreement
between the measured spectrum and the model calculation is better than 2%.
