\section{CAU Requirements} \label{sec:cau_req} This section contains requirements from \ac{AHEPaM} on the \ac{ATHENA} spacecraft. \subsection*{R-CAU-AHEPaM-001: Unobstructed Field of View} \label{req:CAU-R-001} The opening angle of AHEPaM is $\phi=20.5$\,degrees (half-angle) on both sides of the telescope (see \ac{MICD} \cite{ahepam-micd}). The solid angle described by these cones shall not be obstructed by more than 10\%. %The field of view of both viewing directions of AHEPaM shall be only obstructed by small objects such as the spacecrafts booms in an opening angle of 20.6 degrees. %\subsection*{R-CAU-AHEPaM-002: Purging} %\label{req:CAU-R-001} %AHEPaM shall be stored purged.... %Should this be really written here? Its already mentioned in R-AHEPaM-013: Storage.... \subsection*{R-CAU-AHEPaM-002: Accomodation} \label{req:CAU-R-002} An accommodation of \ac{AHEPaM} on a sun-obscured position on the space craft is required. This allows for an optimized thermal design without the additional mass and complexity that external radiators would introduce for a sun-exposed accommodation. The requirement is driven by the design temperature of the SSD detectors. %The design temperature of \acs{AHEPaM}s particle detectors shall not exceed $0\,^\circ$C $\pm$ \acs{TBD}$\,^\circ$C.\\ %This requirement can be achieved by an adequate thermal design which bases on a mutual understanding between the prime and the instrument team regarding the detailed environmental thermal constraints. Most likely a certain combination of external radiators and op-/ non-op heating power will be required.\\ \subsection*{R-CAU-AHEPaM-003: GN2-Purge} \label{req:CAU-R-003} \acs{AHEPaM} will require GN2-Purge during storage.\newline Max. allowed time without purge in a cleanroom environment shall not exceed \acs{TBD} 2\,hrs.
