(author), den Herder, J. W.A. (author)We report on the x-ray background rate measured with transition-edge sensors (TES) micro-calorimeters under frequency-domain multiplexing (FDM) readout as a possible technology for future experiments aiming at a direct detection of axion-like particles. Future axion helioscopes will make use of large magnets to convert axions into photons in...journal article 2023

(author), Ravensberg, K. (author), Visser, S. (author), Nieuwenhuizen, A. C.T. (author), Gao, J.R. (author), den Herder, J. W. (author)Superconducting transition-edge sensors (TESs) are highly sensitive detectors. Based on the outstanding performance on spectral resolution, the X-ray integral field unit (X-IFU) instrument on-board athena will be equipped with a large array of TES-based microcalorimeters. For optimal performance in terms of the energy resolution, it is...journal article 2020
