Abstract
Thermal pulses from cryogenic calorimeters are known to have shapes wh ich are more complicated than simple models predict. The approach take n in this paper is to treat the propagation of heat in the device as d iffusion in a continuous medium consisting of the absorber and thermal links. The model predictions will be discussed for microcalorimeters having tin absorbers, niobium-titanium thermal links, and neutron tran smutation doped (NTD) germanium thermistors.
