Transition Edge Sensors (TESs) are amongst the most sensitive cryogenic detectors and
can be easily optimized for the detection of massive particles or photons ranging from X-rays …

We describe a series of microcalorimeter X-ray spectrometers designed for a broad suite of
measurement applications. The chief advantage of this type of spectrometer is that it can be …

We demonstrate a 64-pixel free-space-coupled array of superconducting nanowire single
photon detectors optimized for high detection efficiency in the near-infrared range. An …

The number of elements in most cryogenic sensor arrays is limited by the technology
available to multiplex signals from the arrays into a smaller number of wires and readout …

The analysis of data from X-ray microcalorimeters requires great care; their excellent
intrinsic energy resolution cannot usually be achieved in practice without a statistically near …

The line emission mapper (LEM) is a probe-class mission concept that is designed to detect
x-ray emission lines from hot ionized gas (T> 106 K) that will enable us to test galaxy …

Precision study of few-electron, high-Z ions is a privileged field for probing high-field, bound-
state quantum electrodynamics (BSQED). However, the accuracy of such tests is plagued by …

The concept of a relatively new type of energy sensitive detectors, namely calorimetric low
temperature detectors, which measure the temperature rise of an absorber due to the impact …

X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) is a powerful element-selective tool to analyze the
oxidation states of atoms in complex compounds, determine their electronic configuration …
