The Cryogenic AntiCoincidence detector for ATHENA X-IFU: improvement of the test setup towards the Demonstration Model
Matteo D'Andrea, Claudio Macculi, Andrea Argan +8
The ATHENA X-IFU development program foresees to build and characterize an instrument Demonstration Model (DM), in order to probe the system critical technologies before the missio…
The Cryogenic AntiCoincidence detector for ATHENA X-IFU: assessing the role of the athermal phonons collectors in the AC-S8 prototype
Matteo D'Andrea, Claudio Macculi, Andrea Argan +7
The ATHENA X-ray Observatory is the second large-class mission in the ESA Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 science programme. One of the two on-board instruments is the X-IFU, an imaging sp…
The Cryogenic Anticoincidence Detector for ATHENA X-IFU: Preliminary test of AC-S9 towards the Demonstration Model
Matteo D'Andrea, Claudio Macculi, Andrea Argan +9
Our team is developing the Cryogenic Anticoincidence Detector (CryoAC) of the ATHENA X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU). It is a 4-pixels TES-based detector, which will be placed le…
