Thermal Detection
摘要
Chapter 4 for thermal detectionThermal detection describes the fundamental statistical physics of energy resolution, and the operation of practical devices such as SPTDSuperconductor Phase Transition Detector (SPTD), TESDTransition Edge Sensor Detector (TESD), MMCDMetallic Magnetic Calorimetric Detector (MMCD), and SSPDSuperconductor Strip Particle Detector (SSPD). A historical overview highlights the works of pioneers. The SSPDSuperconductor Strip Particle Detector (SSPD) is categorized as thermal detectionThermal detection because the normal-domain thermal-expansion induced by Joule sef-heating governs signal generation and pulse recovery is facilitated by electrothermal feedback (ETFElectrothermal Feedback (ETF)) that is common to other thermal detectors. As observed in quantum detectors, spatial inhomogeneitySpatial inhomogeneity occurs due to the sharp superconducting transition that functions as an extremely sensitive thermometer. The best superconductor thermal detectors record a high energy resolution of 1.25–1.58 eV at 5.9 keV, which enables X-ray line-shape analysis that is X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES)X-ray Emission Spectroscopy (XES).
