Superconducting TES array X-ray spectrometer goes into operation at BESSY II

Europe's first and only superconducting TES (Transition Edge Sensor) array X-ray spectrometer has begun operations at BESSY II, a synchrotron radiation facility. Developed through a collaboration between the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB), the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry (MPI-CEC), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the instrument offers significantly higher photon detection efficiency compared to traditional wavelength-dispersive X-ray emission spectrometers. It will be used to study the electronic properties of materials such as atomically thin layers, nano
