Abstract
We fabricated the TES microcalorimeter with TES(Ti/Au) and gold absorber, and obtained FWHM energy resolution of 4.8±0.3 eV at 5.9keV. The baseline resolution, i.e. the resolution determined by noise, was 4.1±0.1 eV. From the noise spectra we found that the square of the baseline resolution could be approximately decomposed into contributions of three noise components. They are estimated to be (2.5 eV)2 (the intrinsic noise), (1.5 eV)2 (the readout noise), and (3.0 eV)2 (so-called excess noise). There is additional broadening of (2.5 eV)2 from the baseline resolution. The excess noise is the largest limiting factor of the energy resolution of the device.
