Transition-edge sensors (TESs) as microcalorimeters offer high resolving power, owning to their sharp response and low operating temperature. In the hard X-ray regime and above, the demand for high quantum-efficiency requires the use of…

The sensitivity of a low-noise superconducting transition edge sensor (TES) is determined by the thermal conductance of the support structure that connects the active elements of the device to the heat bath. Low-noise devices require…
