Development of transition edge sensor distributed read-out imaging devices for applications in X-ray astronomy
This thesis is concerned with the development of, position-sensitive, Transition Edge Sensors (TES) operating at cryogenic temperatures (~ 0.1 K). The Distributed Read-Out Imaging Device (DROID) concept uses TES read-out at both ends of a linear X-ray absorber, to derive, through heat diffusion, bot...
