First Flight Performance of the Micro-X Microcalorimeter X-Ray Sounding Rocket
Joseph S. Adams, Robert Baker, Simon R. Bandler +28
The flight of the Micro-X sounding rocket on July 22, 2018 marked the first operation of Transition-Edge Sensors and their SQUID readouts in space. The instrument combines the micr…
Design of a 3000-pixel transition-edge sensor x-ray spectrometer for microcircuit tomography
Paul Szypryt, Douglas A. Bennett, William J. Boone +28
Feature sizes in integrated circuits have decreased substantially over time, and it has become increasingly difficult to three-dimensionally image these complex circuits after fabr…
Nanoscale Three-Dimensional Imaging of Integrated Circuits using a Scanning Electron Microscope and Transition-Edge Sensor Spectrometer
Nathan Nakamura, Paul Szypryt, Amber L. Dagel +30
X-ray nanotomography is a powerful tool for the characterization of nanoscale materials and structures, but is difficult to implement due to competing requirements on X-ray flux an…
BICEP / Keck XVII: Line of Sight Distortion Analysis: Estimates of Gravitational Lensing, Anisotropic Cosmic Birefringence, Patchy Reionization, and Systematic Errors
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +91
We present estimates of line-of-sight distortion fields derived from the 95 GHz and 150 GHz data taken by BICEP2, BICEP3, and Keck Array up to the 2018 observing season, leading to…
BICEP / Keck XVI: Characterizing Dust Polarization through Correlations with Neutral Hydrogen
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +92
We characterize Galactic dust filaments by correlating BICEP/Keck and Planck data with polarization templates based on neutral hydrogen (H I) observations. Dust polarization is imp…
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…
