Developments on frequency domain multiplexing readout for large arrays of transition-edge sensor X-ray micro-calorimeters
D. Vaccaro, H. Akamatsu, L. Gottardi +8
At SRON we have been developing X-ray TES micro-calorimeters as backup technology for the X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) of the Athena mission, demonstrating excellent resolving…
High Aspect Ratio Transition Edge Sensors for X-ray Spectrometry
M. de Wit, L. Gottardi, E. Taralli +11
We are developing large TES arrays in combination with FDM readout for the next generation of X-ray space observatories. For operation under AC-bias, the TESs have to be carefully…
Progress in the development of frequency domain multiplexing for the X-ray Integral Field Unit on board the Athena mission
H. Akamatsu, L. Gottardi, J. van der Kuur +11
Frequency domain multiplexing (FDM) is the baseline readout system for the X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) on board the Athena mission. Under the FDM scheme, TESs are coupled to…
Optimising the multiplex factor of the frequency domain multiplexed readout of the TES-based microcalorimeter imaging array for the X-IFU instrument on the Athena Xray observatory
J. van der Kuur, L. G. Gottardi, H. Akamatsu +5
Athena is a space-based X-ray observatory intended for exploration of the hot and energetic universe. One of the science instruments on Athena will be the X-ray Integrated Field Un…
Microcalorimeter pulse analysis by means of principle component decomposition
C. P. de Vries, R. M. Schouten, J. van der Kuur +2
The X-ray integral field unit for the Athena mission consists of a microcalorimeter transition edge sensor pixel array. Incoming photons generate pulses which are analyzed in terms…
Development of Multilayer Readout Wiring TES Calorimeter for Future X-ray Missions
Shin'ya Yamada, Y. Ezoe, Y. Ishisaki +7
We have fabricated multilayer readout wiring Transition Edge Sensors (TES), which enable us to realize both large effective area and high-energy resolution for future X-ray astroph…
