Abstract
Cryogenic detectors based on iridium-gold phase transition thermometers are being developed for various applications in astroparticle physics, aiming at high energy resolution, low energy threshold and moderate count rates. A microcalorimeter with an energy resolution of 15.5 eV (FWHM) for the Mn-55 K alpha(1) x-ray line for tentative use in an analytical x-ray system (e,g , SERI, TRFA) is presented.
