A tabletop x-ray tomography instrument for nanometer-scale imaging: demonstration of the 1,000-element transition-edge sensor subarray
Paul Szypryt, Nathan Nakamura, Daniel T. Becker +28
We report on the 1,000-element transition-edge sensor (TES) x-ray spectrometer implementation of the TOMographic Circuit Analysis Tool (TOMCAT). TOMCAT combines a high spatial reso…
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…
Line Emission Mapper (LEM): Probing the physics of cosmic ecosystems
Ralph Kraft, Maxim Markevitch, Caroline Kilbourne +107
The Line Emission Mapper (LEM) is an X-ray Probe for the 2030s that will answer the outstanding questions of the Universe's structure formation. It will also provide transformative…
Signal readout for Transition-Edge Sensor X-ray imaging spectrometers
H. Akamatsu, W. B. Doriese, J. A. B. Mates +1
Arrays of low-temperature microcalorimeters provide a promising technology for X-ray astrophysics: the imaging spectrometer. A camera with at least several thousand pixels, each of…
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…
