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…
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…
Upgrade of compact neutron spectrometer for high flux environments
M. Osipenko, A. Bellucci, V. Ceriale +9
In this paper a new version of Li6-based neutron spectrometer for high flux environments is described. The new spectrometer was built with commercial single crystal Chemical Vapour…
The Cryogenic AntiCoincidence detector for ATHENA X-IFU: a scientific assessment of the observational capabilities in the hard X-ray band
Matteo D'Andrea, Simone Lotti, Claudio Macculi +3
ATHENA is a large X-ray observatory, planned to be launched by ESA in 2028 towards an L2 orbit. One of the two instruments of the payload is the X-IFU: a cryogenic spectrometer bas…
Measuring the electron neutrino mass with improved sensitivity: the HOLMES experiment
A. Giachero, B. Alpert, D. Becker +39
HOLMES is a new experiment aiming at directly measuring the neutrino mass with a sensitivity below 2 eV. HOLMES will perform a calorimetric measurement of the energy released in th…
Multi-mode TES bolometer optimization for the LSPE-SWIPE instrument
R. Gualtieri, E. S. Battistelli, A. Cruciani +6
In this paper we explore the possibility of using transition edge sensor (TES) detectors in multi-mode configuration in the focal plane of the Short Wavelength Instrument for the P…
Time resolution of time-of-flight detector based on multiple scintillation counters readout by SiPMs
P. W. Cattaneo, M. De Gerone, F. Gatti +5
A new timing detector measuring ~50 MeV/c positrons is under development for the MEG II experiment, aiming at a time resolution . The resolution is expecte…
SAGACE: the Spectroscopic Active Galaxies And Clusters Explorer
P. De Bernardis, D. Bagliani, A. Bardi +42
The SAGACE experiment consists of a mm/sub-mm telescope with a 3-m diameter primary mirror, coupled to a cryogenic multi-beam differential spectrometer. SAGACE explores the sky in…
