Abstract
NIST is fabricating multi-pixel arrays of transition edge sensor (TES) micr ocalorimeter detectors for use in microanalysis and x-ray astrophysics, We have developed both room temperature digital feedback electronics and a suc cessful SQUID multiplexing technology that will be applied to form a practi cal, expandable system. We are also exploring surface micromachining techni ques to enable the fabrication of large-scale, close-packed arrays of TES m icrocalorimeters.
