Scientific paper

LMSAL and NIST are developing position-sensitive X-ray strip detectors based on TES (Transition Edge Sensor) microcalorimeters optimized for solar physics. By combining high spectral (ΔE/E ~1600) and temporal (single photon Δt ~10μs) resolutions with imaging capabilities, these devices will be able to study high-temperature X-ray lines as never before. Diagnostics from these lines should provide significant new insight into the physics of both microflares and the early stages of flares. In this poster, we will discuss the status of our laboratory research, our most recent developments, and the applicability to future solar Explorers and other space missions.
