| Abstract: |
We present here the computational basis of the software chain
(XRAYCHAIN) developed to detect and analyze the pulses generated in
Transition Edge Sensors (TES) devices in response to the incoming
X-ray astronomical photons. The final objective of this analysis is
the obtention of the arrival time, position and energy content of the
photons, that will enable the study and characterization
of the observed source.
This code is currently being developed under a collaboration between IFCA
(Spain) and SRON (NL) institutes, as part of a larger project named EURECA
(de Korte et al. 2009) involving many other institutes in Europe and the USA. This
project was created to design the TES prototype proposed for the XEUS ESA
mission, that has currently evolved into the ATHENA mission. |
