论文摘要
X-IFU是船上的低温光谱仪,未来的雅典娜X射线天文台。它基于大量的TES微钙化器,它们与低温抗收量探测器(CryoAc)结合使用。这对于降低粒子背景级别是必要的,从而实现了任务科学目标的一部分。在这里,我们介绍了在FDM设置中执行的X-IFU TES阵列和冷冻演示模型的第一个关节测试。我们表明,可以正确操作两个检测器,并且我们提供了通过同时检测宇宙muons实现的系统的抗合性能力的初步证明。
The X-IFU is the cryogenic spectrometer onboard the future ATHENA X-ray observatory. It is based on a large array of TES microcalorimeters, which works in combination with a Cryogenic AntiCoincidence detector (CryoAC). This is necessary to reduce the particle background level thus enabling part of the mission science goals. Here we present the first joint test of X-IFU TES array and CryoAC Demonstration Models, performed in a FDM setup. We show that it is possible to operate properly both detectors, and we provide a preliminary demonstration of the anti-coincidence capability of the system achieved by the simultaneous detection of cosmic muons.
