It is optimized for high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy in the energy range up to 30 keV and consists of 8x8 individual metallic magnetic calorimeters. These detectors combine the good energy resolution of crystal spectrometers and the large energy bandwidth of semiconductor detectors and measure the energy of each absorbed photon by the resulting temperature change. This change is converted to a change of magnetization by the paramagnetic alloy Ag:Er, which is read out by sensitive SQUID magnetometers. The detector can be mounted on the side arm of a mobile dry dilution refrigerator and a new 32 channel acquisition system has been developed for this array. The intrinsic energy resolution of the maXs30 detector was measured to be 7.9 eV (FWHM) and a resolving power of almost 3000 was achieved for X-rays with an energy of 60 keV. The complete maXs system was successfully tested during several experiments at the heavy ion storage ring ESR at the GSI, where the Lyman series of Xe53+ and the Balmer series of U89+ were investigated. date: 2017 id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00023815 ppn_swb: 1658678389 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-238154 date_accepted: 2017-11-30 advisor: HASH(0x55e0f7e48cc0) language: eng bibsort: HENGSTLERDDEVELOPMEN2017 full_text_status: public citation: Hengstler, Daniel (2017) Development and characterization of two-dimensional metallic magnetic calorimeter arrays for the high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy.
