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…
Life Cycle Assessment of the Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit
Didier Barret, Vincent Albouys, Jürgen Knödlseder +15
The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) is the high-resolution X-ray spectrometer to fly on board the Athena Space Observatory of the European Space Agency (ESA). It is being develop…
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…
