Abstract
Advances in Cryogenic Radiation Detectors (September 7, 2023). Cryogenic radiation detectors are attractive because of their extremely high energy resolution, typically on the order of eV for X-rays in the keV range. One of their applications is in astrophysics. Recently, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched the XRISM (X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) satellite in collaboration with NASA and ESA (for more details, see Daniel Clery, “Revolutionary x-ray sensor to probe workings of black holes and supernovae”, Science, 381, 720–721 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adk3474). The X-ray telescope is equipped with a high-energy resolution microcalorimeter detector called Resolve, which is expected to reveal more details about exploding stars, the matter orbiting supermassive black holes, and the merging of galaxy clusters. The detectors appear to be useful not only in such astrophysics, but also in X-ray spectrometry. One of the most important research projects is the precise determination of the fundamental X-ray parameters for many L lines in the soft X-ray region. The research team at NIST in Boulder, Colorado, USA has published a number of papers since 2017 (see, for example, J. W. Fowler et al., “A reassessment of the absolute energies of the x-ray L lines of lanthanide metals”, Metrologia 54, 494 (2017). https://doi.org/10.1088/1681-7575/aa722f, “Absolute energies and emission line shapes of the L x-ray transitions of lanthanide metals”, Metrologia 58, 015016 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1088/1681-7575/abd28a, “Energy Calibration of Nonlinear Microcalorimeters with Uncertainty Estimates from Gaussian Process Regression”, Journal of Low Temperature Physics 209, 1047–1054 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10909-022-02740-w, “The potential of microcalorimeter X-ray spectrometers for measurement of relative fluorescence-line intensities”, Radiation Physics and Chemistry, 202, 110,487 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radphyschem.2022.110487).

期刊介绍:
X-Ray Spectrometry is devoted to the rapid publication of papers dealing with the theory and application of x-ray spectrometry using electron, x-ray photon, proton, γ and γ-x sources.
Covering advances in techniques, methods and equipment, this established journal provides the ideal platform for the discussion of more sophisticated X-ray analytical methods.
Both wavelength and energy dispersion systems are covered together with a range of data handling methods, from the most simple to very sophisticated software programs. Papers dealing with the application of x-ray spectrometric methods for structural analysis are also featured as well as applications papers covering a wide range of areas such as environmental analysis and monitoring, art and archaelogical studies, mineralogy, forensics, geology, surface science and materials analysis, biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.
