In the past few years metallic magnetic calorimeters have been developed for particle detection. A magnetic calorimeter consists of an absorber, appropriate for the particles being detected, and a paramagnetic sensor located in a small magnetic field that serves as a thermometer. These two components are strongly coupled thermally together and weakly coupled to a thermal bath. The energy deposition of an incident particle produces a change in the absorber temperature and thus a change of the magnetization of the sensor. This change in magnetization can be measured with high resolution using a sensitive DC-SQUID. The performance of metallic magnetic calorimeters has improved rapidly and has now reached a level where various applications are conceivable. We discuss the principles of operation and the optimization criteria for magnetic calorimeters, and the design and performance of prototype detectors for both x-ray and gamma-ray detection. In addition, we comment on the fundamental limits of the energy resolution of such detectors. .
