Title: Gamma-ray spectrometers using a bulk Sn absorber coupled to a Mo/Cu multilayer superconducting transition edge sensor

Conference ·

We are developing gamma-ray detectors with a bulk absorber and a superconducting transition-edge sensor. The absorber is high purity Sn and the transition-edge sensor is a Mo/Cu multilayer thin film. We have characterized the detector, and will discuss x-ray and gamma-ray results.
