We are currently producing iridium based TESs for a wide variety of applications such as single photon detection of the visible and infrared light, X-ray spectroscopy and low energy nuclear beta and electron capture spectroscopy for neutrino mass search experiment. We present a study of the TES performance related to the superconductivity...

The technique which combines high resolution spectroscopy with imaging capability is a powerful tool to extract fundamental information in X-ray Astrophysics and Cosmology. TES (Transition Edge Sensors)-based microcalorimeters match at best the requirements for doing fine spectroscopy and imaging of both bright (high count rate) and faint (poor...
