A paper published on A&A Suppl. 122 pag. 327 contains the reference description of the MECS
Cosmic background
An invited paper has been presented at the RXTE/BeppoSAX Lincei conference "The Active X-ray sky" in Rome, 21-24 Oct 1997. To be published in Nucl.Phys.B (Proc.Suppl.) vol. 69 pag. 610 (see preprint in astro-ph/9712251 or locally a preview)
