  The most cited XMM-Newton instrumentation paper
(September 24th, 2011)		  
     As of September 24, there are 1,001 citations of the EPIC pnCCD Camera primary publication published in
External TopicAstrophysics & Astronomy (source
External TopicAstrophysics Data System, ADS).
The camera is the preferred choice of instrumentation for 7,600 out of 9,200 scientific observations onboard XMM-Newton. This results in about 3,500 XMM-Newton related papers in total. Of these over 1,000 cite this primary publication.
