A 50 mK test bench for demonstration of the readout chain of Athena/X-IFU
Florent Castellani, Sophie Beaumont, François Pajot +22
The X-IFU (X-ray Integral Field Unit) onboard the large ESA mission Athena (Advanced Telescope for High ENergy Astrophysics), planned to be launched in the mid 2030s, will be a cry…
The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit: a consolidated design for the system requirement review of the preliminary definition phase
Didier Barret, Vincent Albouys, Jan-Willem den Herder +296
The Athena X-ray Integral Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer, studied since 2015 for flying in the mid-30s on the Athena space X-ray Observatory, a versatile ob…
A test platform for the detection and readout chain for the Athena X-IFU
Gabriele Betancourt-Martinez, François Pajot, Sophie Beaumont +26
We present a test platform for the Athena X-IFU detection chain, which will serve as the first demonstration of the representative end-to-end detection and readout chain for the X-…
Towards 100,000-pixel microcalorimeter arrays using multi-absorber transition-edge sensors
S. J. Smith, J. S. Adams, S. R. Bandler +15
We report on the development of multi-absorber transition edge sensors (TESs), referred to as hydras. A hydra consists of multiple x-ray absorbers each with a different thermal con…
