Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed transition-edge-sensor (TES) microcalorimeters for gamma rays. The energy resolution of a single-pixel device with a 1 mm x 1 mm x 0.7 mm bismuth absorber was 0.88 keV for 1.17 MeV gamma rays. We fabricated position-sensitive TES devices with a 19 mm x 0.5 mm x 0.5 mm lead absorber and obtained 1 mm position resolution for 662 keV gamma rays. We also fabricated a position-sensitive TES device with a 20 mm x 1 mm x 1 mm bismuth absorber. We modeled the position-sensitive devices and the actual and simulated pulses were in good agreement.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では従来のガンマ線検出器のエネルギー分解能を１桁程度改善することを目指すとともに、TES型マイクロカロリメータでの位置検出を試みている。ガンマ線分光・撮像は基盤技術であり、その高度化は多くの分野へ波及する。
