Demonstration of MHz frequency domain multiplexing readout of 37 transition edge sensors for high-resolution x-ray imaging spectrometers
H. Akamatsu, D. Vaccaro, L. Gottardi +22
We report on the development and demonstration of a MHz frequency domain multiplexing (FDM) technology to read out arrays of cryogenic transition edge sensor (TES) X-ray microcalor…
The development of a testbed for the X-ray Interferometer mission
Roland den Hartog, Phil Uttley, Richard Willingale +3
An X-ray Interferometer (XRI) has recently been proposed as a theme for ESA's Voyage 2050 planning cycle, with the eventual goal to observe the X-ray sky with an unprecedented angu…
Frequency Shift Algorithm: Application to a Frequency-Domain Multiplexing Readout of X-ray Transition-Edge Sensor Microcalorimeters
D. Vaccaro, H. Akamatsu, J. van der Kuur +17
In the frequency-domain multiplexing (FDM) scheme, transition-edge sensors (TES) are individually coupled to superconducting LC filters and AC biased at MHz frequencies through a c…
Thermal simulations of temperature excursions on the Athena X-IFU detector wafer from impacts by cosmic rays
Samantha Lynn Stever, Philippe Peille, Marcel Bruijn +5
We present the design and implementation of a thermal model, developed in COMSOL, aiming to probe the wafer-scale thermal response arising from realistic rates and energies of cosm…
The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit
Didier Barret, Thien Lam Trong, Jan-Willem den Herder +100
The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer of the ESA Athena X-ray observatory. Over a field of view of 5' equivalent diameter, it will deliver…
Study of the dependency on magnetic field and bias voltage of an AC-biased TES microcalorimeter
Luciano Gottardi, James Adams, Catherine Bailey +15
At SRON we are studying the performance of a Goddard Space Flight Center single pixel TES microcalorimeter operated in an AC bias configuration. For x-ray photons at 6 keV the pixe…
