High resolution calorimetry with TESs: status report M. Rajteri, E. Monticone Nanoscience and Materials Division Strada delle Cacce 91 10135 Torino - Italy
Transition-Edge Sensors (TESs) TES:a microcalorimeter made by a superconducting film operated in the temperature region between the normal and the superconducting state Ti/Au Bilayer – proximity effect • TESs are very sensitive: • temperature control difficult • • Voltage biasing and electrothermal feedback • TESs have low resistance: • difficult readout • • dc-SQUID amplifier
