Low Temperature Microcalorimeter Development for a Neutrino Mass Experiment

Abstract

We are developing ion-implanted Si thermistors to be used for a neutrino mass experiment and X-ray spectroscopy. For these purposes we need high reproducibility and high sensitivity. Analysis of the collected data has been performed on the basis of the `hot-electron` model and the results will be here discussed. First results obtained with test X-ray detectors are also reported
