System performance of a cryogenic test-bed for the time-division multiplexing readout for NewAthena X-IFU

Davide Vaccaro, Jan van der Kuur, Paul van der Hulst +23

The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) is an instrument of ESA's future NewAthena space observatory, with the goal to provide high-energy resolution ( 4 eV at X-ray energies up t…

Demonstration of Weak-Link Physics in the Dynamical Response of Transition-Edge Sensors

Marios Kounalakis, Luciano Gottardi, Martin de Wit +1

We theoretically predict and experimentally observe the onset of weak-link physics in the dynamical response of transition edge sensors (TES). We develop a theoretical framework ba…

Increased muon field at surface and substrate interface of palladium thin films

Gesa Welker, Martin de Wit, Tjerk H. Oosterkamp +4

We performed depth-dependent low-energy muon spin spectroscopy (SR) studies on three palladium 100 nm thin films, both undoped and doped with 170 ppm of iron. Muons implanted in…
