We are developing kilo-pixel arrays of transition-edge sensor (TES) microcalorimeters for
use in future laboratory and space based X-ray astrophysics experiments. These arrays are …

We are developing arrays of X-ray microcalorimeters on a 50-µm pitch that utilize transition-
edge sensors as the sensor to measure the temperature rise when X-rays are absorbed. An …

We present experimental results and designs of large‐absorber transition‐edge‐sensor
(TES) X‐ray microcalorimeters. Much of our effort has focused on developing close‐packed …

Individual x-ray calorimeters based on superconducting transition-edge sensors (TES) have
already demonstrated the spectral resolution, speed, and quantum efficiency needed for …

We are developing X-ray microcalorimeters as a backup option for the baseline detectors in
the X-IFU instrument on board the ATHENA space mission led by ESA and to be launched in …

We present measurements from a series of transition-edge x-ray microcalorimeters
designed for optimal energy resolution. We used the geometry of the sensors to control their …

Microcalorimeters have the potential to provide line shapes well described by a single
Gaussian broadening term of few-eV width. This attribute makes the detectors especially …
