Transition edge sensors (TESs) are high-sensitivity thermometers used in cryogenic microcalorimeters which exploit the steep gradient in resistivity with temperature during the superconducting phase transition. Practical TES devices tend to exhibit a white noise of uncertain origin, arising inside t

The performance of Transition Edge Sensors (TES) is limited by excess noise that is not predicted by the current theory of microcalorimeters and bolometers. The nature of this noise is currently unknown, but is likely to be dominated by fundamental physics of supeconductors. The University of Miami
An extended treatment of microcalorimeters functioning including large signal analysis reveals some important aspects that have never been described before. Outside the small signal approximation, transition edge sensors have a non linear response which needs to be studied and understood. This is ac
