In recent years, superconducting transition-edge sensors (TES) have emerged as powerful,
energy-resolving detectors of single photons from the near infrared through gamma rays and …

We describe a method for measuring the complex impedance of transition-edge-sensor
(TES) calorimeters. Using this technique, we measured the impedance of a Mo/Au …

Superconducting transition-edge sensors (TESs), working as single-photon detectors with
high quantum efficiency, low dark count rate, and photon number resolving capability, have …

Microcalorimeters and bolometers are noise-limited devices, therefore, a proper
understanding of all noise sources is essential to predict and interpret their performance. In …

We have studied the origin of excess noise in superconducting transition-edge sensors
(TES) with several different detector designs. We show that most of the observed noise and …

We measured noise in a variety of Mo/Au transition-edge sensor (TES) X-ray calorimeters.
We investigated the relationship between the noise, bias, and the superconducting phase …

The CRESST-II experiment attempts to detect hypothetical Weakly Interacting Massive
Particles (WIMPS) via elastic scattering off nuclei in a scintillating CaWO4 crystal. Efficient …

We present a geometrical model to describe excess electrical noise in transition-edge
sensors (TESs). In this model, a network of fluctuating resistors represents the complex …
