A Highly Linear Calibration Metric for TES X-ray Microcalorimeters
C. G. Pappas, J. W. Fowler, D. A. Bennett +6
Transition-edge sensor X-ray microcalorimeters are usually calibrated empirically, as the most widely-used calibration metric, optimal filtered pulse height (OFPH), in general has…

Approaches to the Optimal Nonlinear Analysis of Microcalorimeter Pulses
J. W. Fowler, C. G. Pappas, B. K. Alpert +4
We consider how to analyze microcalorimeter pulses for quantities that are nonlinear in the data, while preserving the signal-to-noise advantages of lin- ear optimal filtering. We…
