Query: Monte Carlo Methods for X-ray Dispersive Spectrometers   We discuss multivariate Monte Carlo methods appropriate for X-ray dispersive
spectrometers. Dispersive spectrometers have many advantages for high
resolution spectroscopy in the X-ray band. Analysis of data from these
instruments is complicated by the fact that the instrument response functions
are multi-dimensional and relatively few X-ray photons are detected from
astrophysical sources. Monte Carlo methods are the natural solution to these
challenges, but techniques for their use are not well developed. We describe a
number of methods to produce a highly efficient and flexible multivariate Monte
Carlo. These techniques include multi-dimensional response interpolation and
multi-dimensional event comparison. We discuss how these methods have been
extensively used in the XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometer in-flight
calibration program. We also show several examples of a Monte Carlo applied to
observations of clusters of galaxies and elliptical galaxies with the
XMM-Newton observatory.
