The X-ray Integral Field Unit at the end of the Athena reformulation phase
Philippe Peille, Didier Barret, Edoardo Cucchetti +279
The Athena mission entered a redefinition phase in July 2022, driven by the imperative to reduce the mission cost at completion for the European Space Agency below an acceptable ta…
The TES-based Cryogenic AntiCoincidence Detector of ATHENA X-IFU: Validation of the thermal end-to-end simulator towards the updated Demonstration Model (DM 1.1)
Matteo D'Andrea, Claudio Macculi, Simone Lotti +13
The Cryogenic AntiCoincidence Detector (CryoAC) is a key element of the X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) on board the future ATHENA X-ray observatory. It is a TES-based detector d…
The end-to-end simulator of the ATHENA X-IFU Cryogenic AntiCoincidence detector (CryoAC)
Matteo D'Andrea, Claudio Macculi, Simone Lotti +8
The X-IFU is one of the two instruments of ATHENA, the next ESA large X-ray observatory. It is a cryogenic spectrometer based on an array of TES microcalorimeters. To reduce the pa…
Thermalization of a SQUID chip at cryogenic temperature: Thermal conductance measurement for GE 7031 Varnish Glue, Apiezon N Grease and Rubber Cement between 20 and 200 mK
M. D'Andrea, G. Torrioli, C. Macculi +1
In the context of the ATHENA X-IFU Cryogenic AntiCoincidence Detector (CryoAC) development, we have studied the thermalization properties of a 2mm x 2mm SQUID chip. The chip is glu…
The TES-based Cryogenic AntiCoincidence Detector (CryoAC) of ATHENA X-IFU: a large area silicon microcalorimeter for background particles detection
M. D'Andrea, C. Macculi, S. Lotti +14
We are developing the Cryogenic AntiCoincidence detector (CryoAC) of the ATHENA X-IFU spectrometer. It is a TES-based particle detector aimed to reduce the background of the instru…
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…
