Abstract

NIST is fabricating multi-pixel arrays of our transition edge sensor (TES) microcalorimeter detectors for use in microanalysis and x-ray astrophysics. We have developed room temperature digital feedback electronics and a successful SQUID multiplexing technology that will both be applied to form a practical, expandable system. We are also exploring surface micromachining techniques to enable the fabrication of large-scale, close-packed arrays of TES microcalorimeters.
