Abstract

Superconducting transition-edge sensors (TESs) used in X-ray and \(\gamma\)-ray microcalorimeters suffer degraded performance if cooled in a magnetic field B sufficient to trap flux in the sensors. We report measurements of \(\gamma\)-ray TESs before and after implementing measures to reduce stray B fields from sources inside and outside the cryostat. These measurements showed a correlation between anomalous features in TES current–voltage (IV) curves and degraded energy resolution. After reducing internal sources of stray B field and improving shielding against external sources, both IV curves and energy resolution improved. Finally, we placed magnetized screws with remnant fields \(\sim\) 10 \(\upmu \textrm{T}\) near similar \(\gamma\)-ray TESs in a different type of detector package and observed the same effects.

杂散磁场对伽马射线微量热仪过渡边缘传感器的影响

X射线和（\gamma）-射线微量热仪中使用的超导过渡边传感器（TES），如果在足以在传感器中捕获磁通量的磁场B中冷却，其性能就会下降。我们报告了在采取措施减少来自低温恒温器内外的杂散 B 场之前和之后对 \(\gamma\)-ray TES 的测量结果。这些测量结果显示了 TES 电流-电压（IV）曲线中的异常特征与能量分辨率下降之间的相关性。在减少内部杂散 B 电场源和改善外部电场源屏蔽之后，IV 曲线和能量分辨率都得到了改善。最后，我们在不同类型的探测器封装中，在类似的伽马射线TES附近放置了残余场为10的磁化螺丝，并观察到了同样的效果。
