Resolve instrument onboard XRISM: design, integration, and instrument test results

The Resolve instrument onboard the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) consists of an array of 6 × 6 silicon-thermistor microcalorimeters cooled down to 50 mK and a high-throughput X-ray mirror assembly (XMA) with a focal length of 5.6 m. XRISM is a recovery mission of ASTRO-H/Hitomi, and the Resolve instrument is a rebuild of the ASTRO-H Soft X-ray spectrometer (SXS) and the Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) that achieved energy resolution of ∼ 5 eV FWHM on orbit, with several important changes based on lessons learned from ASTRO-H. The flight models of the Dewar and the electronics boxes were fabricated, and the instrument test and calibration were conducted in 2021. By tuning the cryocooler frequencies, energy resolution better than 4.9 eV FWHM at 6 keV was demonstrated for all 36 pixels and high-resolution grade events, as well as energy-scale accuracy better than 2 eV up to 30 keV. The immunity of the detectors to microvibration, electrical conduction, and radiation was evaluated. The instrument was delivered to the spacecraft system in April 2022. The XMA was tested and calibrated separately. Its angular resolution is 1.27′, and the effective area of the mirror itself is 570 cm 2 at 1 keV and 424 cm 2 at 6 keV. We report the design and the major changes from the ASTRO-H SXS, the integration, and the results of the instrument test.

Multi-Parameter Nonlinear Gain Correction of X-Ray Transition Edge Sensors for the X-Ray Integral Field Unit

With its array of 3840 Transition Edge Sensors (TESs), the Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) will provide spatially resolved high-resolution spectroscopy (2.5 eV up to 7 keV) from 0.2 to 12 keV, with an absolute energy scale accuracy of 0.4 eV. Slight changes in the TES operating environment can cause significant variations in its energy response function, which may result in systematic errors in the absolute energy scale. We plan to monitor such changes at pixel level via onboard X-ray calibration sources and correct the energy scale accordingly using a linear or quadratic interpolation of gain curves obtained during ground calibration. However, this may not be sufficient to meet the 0.4 eV accuracy required for the XIFU. In this contribution, we introduce a newtwo-parameter gain correction technique, based on both the pulse-height estimate of a fiducial line and the baseline value of the pixels. Using gain functions that simulate ground calibration data, we show that this technique can accurately correct deviations in detector gain due to changes in TES operating conditions such as heat sink temperature, bias voltage, thermal radiation loading and linear amplifier gain. We also address potential optimisations of the onboard calibration source and compare the performance of this new technique with those previously used.

Electromagnetic Properties of Filled, Pixellated Arrays

Filled arrays of bolometers are currently being employed for use in astronomy from the far-infrared through millimeter parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Because of the large range of wavelengths for which this is applicable, the number of modes supported by a bolometric pixel will vary according to specific application. Withington et al. (2003) have built a formalism for treating the electromagnetic properties of such bolometers by propagating the second order statistical properties of the radiation through a canonical optical system. In this work, we use this formalism to construct beam pattern images of square pixels for various ratios of p/lambda where p is the pixel size and lambda is the wavelength. In the low mode limit, the diffraction effects cause the beam pattern to be circular with a quadrupole dependence of Stokes Q and U. High mode cases approach the geometric limit. The polarization in these cases can be seen to trace the pixel edges. The effective size of the beam has a direct impact on the inter-pixel coupling and sets the number of independent detectors in an astronomical focal plane. This technique illustrates and quantifies the relationship between pixel size and angular resolution limits for a given wavelength and telescope. This is especially true in the limit of low p/lambda. In this case, the diffraction due to pixelization is non-negligible for the calculation of the overall angular resolution of the telescope. In addition, for instruments that are polarization sensitive, this method also provides a quantitative method for determining the contribution of the instrument to the measured polarization.

Optical Characterization of the SPT-3G Camera

The third-generation South Pole Telescope camera is designed to measure the cosmic microwave background across three frequency bands (centered at 95, 150 and 220 GHz) with ~ 16,000 transition-edge sensor (TES) bolometers. Each multichroic array element on a detector wafer has a broadband sinuous antenna that couples power to six TESs, one for each of the three observing bands and both polarizations, via lumped element filters. Ten detector wafers populate the detector array, which is coupled to the sky via a large-aperture optical system. Here we present the frequency band characterization with Fourier transform spectroscopy, measurements of optical time constants, beam properties, and optical and polarization efficiencies of the detector array. The detectors have frequency bands consistent with our simulations and have high average optical efficiency which is 86, 77 and 66% for the 95, 150 and 220 GHz detectors. The time constants of the detectors are mostly between 0.5 and 5 ms. The beam is round with the correct size, and the polarization efficiency is more than 90% for most of the bolometers.

High Broadband Spectral Resolving Transition-Edge Sensors for High Count-Rate Astrophysical Applications

We are developing arrays of transition-edge sensor (TES) X-ray detectors optimized for high count-rate solar astronomy applications where characterizing the high velocity motions of X-ray jets in solar flares is of particular interest. These devices are fabricated on thick Si substrates and consist of 35x35micron^2 TESs with 4.5micron thick, 60micron pitch, electroplated absorbers. We have tested devices fabricated with different geometric stem contact areas with the TES and surrounding substrate area, which allows us to investigate the loss of athermal phonons to the substrate. Results show a correlation between the stem contact area and a non-Gaussian broadening in the spectral line shape consistent with athermal phonon loss. When the contact area is minimized we have obtained remarkable board-band spectral resolving capabilities of 1.3 plus or minus 0.leV at an energy of 1.5 keV, 1.6 plus or minus 0.1 eV at 5.9 keV and 2.0 plus or minus 0.1 eV at 8 keV. This, coupled with a capability of accommodating 100's of counts per second per pixel makes these devices an exciting prospect of future x-ray astronomy applications.

High Energy Particle Excitations as a Measure of Electronic Crosstalk in MODIS and VIIRS VIS/NIR Bands

The MODIS instruments aboard the Terra and Aqua satellites and the VIIRS instruments aboard the SNPP and NOAA-20 satellites each contain several arrays of Si detectors that measure Earth-reflected radiance in the visible and near-infrared spectral range. Even in the absence of incident light, the Si detectors are occasionally excited by high energy charged particles that pass through the spacecraft. These particle radiation events are, fortunately, infrequent enough that they do not lead to significant degradation of the detectors and they do not have a significant impact on the Earth scene radiance images. On the other hand, they are frequent enough that the cumulative data from many years on orbit may provide valuable diagnostic information about the sensors. In this paper, we provide some basic statistics on the frequency and magnitude of the particle excitation events for MODIS and VIIRS and explore the usefulness of this data as a measure of electronic crosstalk. Large amounts of crosstalk can degrade the quality of the Earth images, so it is crucial to have methods to characterize and correct for it on-orbit, which has previously been done for MODIS using lunar image analysis. The particle excitations can manifest as single-pixel spikes in the otherwise dark space view background, which may be an ideal source for evaluating crosstalk. We derive crosstalk coefficients between the NIR band detectors of Terra MODIS, and compare them to coefficients previously derived from lunar observations. The same approach is applied to SNPP VIIRS, which does not show any significant electronic crosstalk. While the HgCdTe detectors used in the MODIS and VIIRS infrared bands can also be excited by particle radiation, the magnitudes of the excitations are much smaller compared to the Si detectors and in general are not large enough to be useful for examining crosstalk.

Simple, compact, high-resolution monochromatic x-ray source for characterization of x-ray calorimeter arrays

X-ray calorimeters routinely achieve very high spectral resolution, typically a few eV full width at half maximum (FWHM). Measurements of calorimeter line shapes are usually dominated by the natural linewidth of most laboratory calibration sources. This compounds the data acquisition time necessary to statistically sample the instrumental line broadening and can add systematic uncertainty if the intrinsic line shape of the source is not well known. To address these issues, we have built a simple, compact monochromatic x-ray source using channel cut crystals. A commercial x-ray tube illuminates a pair of channel cut crystals that are aligned in a dispersive configuration to select the Kα1 line of the x-ray tube anode material. The entire device, including the x-ray tube, can be easily hand-carried by one person and may be positioned manually or using a mechanical translation stage. The output monochromatic beam provides a collimated image of the anode spot with magnification of unity in the dispersion direction (typically 100 μm–200 μm for the x-ray tubes used here) and is unfocused in the cross-dispersion direction so that the source image in the detector plane appears as a line. We measured output count rates as high as 10 count/s/pixel for the Hitomi soft x-ray spectrometer, which had 819 μm square pixels. We implemented different monochromator designs for energies of 5.4 keV (one design) and 8.0 keV (two designs), which have effective theoretical FWHM energy resolution of 0.125 eV, 0.197 eV, and 0.086 eV, respectively; these are well-suited for optimal calibration measurements of state-of-the art x-ray calorimeters. We measured an upper limit for the energy resolution of our Cr Kα1 monochromator of 0.7 eV FWHM at 5.4 keV, consistent with the theoretical prediction of 0.125 eV.

Astrometric Calibration and Performance of the Dark Energy Camera

We characterize the ability of the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) to perform relative astrometry across its 500 Mpix, 3 $deg^2$ science field of view, and across 4 years of operation. This is done using internal comparisons of $~ 4 x 10^7$ measurements of high-S/N stellar images obtained in repeat visits to fields of moderate stellar density, with the telescope dithered to move the sources around the array. An empirical astrometric model includes terms for: optical distortions; stray electric fields in the CCD detectors; chromatic terms in the instrumental and atmospheric optics; shifts in CCD relative positions of up to $\approx 10 \mu m$ when the DECam temperature cycles; and low-order distortions to each exposure from changes in atmospheric refraction and telescope alignment. Errors in this astrometric model are dominated by stochastic variations with typical amplitudes of 10-30 mas (in a 30 s exposure) and $5^{\prime}-10^{\prime}$ arcmin coherence length, plausibly attributed to Kolmogorov-spectrum atmospheric turbulence. The size of these atmospheric distortions is not closely related to the seeing. Given an astrometric reference catalog at density $\approx 0.7$ $arcmin^{-2}$, e.g. from Gaia, the typical atmospheric distortions can be interpolated to $\approx$ 7 mas RMS accuracy (for 30 s exposures) with $1^{\prime}$ arcmin coherence length for residual errors. Remaining detectable error contributors are 2-4 mas RMS from unmodelled stray electric fields in the devices, and another 2-4 mas RMS from focal plane shifts between camera thermal cycles. Thus the astrometric solution for a single DECam exposure is accurate to 3-6 mas ( $\approx$ 0.02 pixels, or $\approx$ 300 nm) on the focal plane, plus the stochastic atmospheric distortion.

The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR)

The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) is a NASA Small Explorer mission that will carry the first focusing hard X-ray (5 - 80 keV) telescope to orbit. NuSTAR will offer a factor 50 - 100 sensitivity improvement compared to previous collimated or coded mask imagers that have operated in this energy band. In addition, NuSTAR provides sub-arcminute imaging with good spectral resolution over a 12-arcminute field of view. After launch, NuSTAR will carry out a two-year primary science mission that focuses on four key programs: studying the evolution of massive black holes through surveys carried out in fields with excellent multiwavelength coverage, understanding the population of compact objects and the nature of the massive black hole in the center of the Milky Way, constraining explosion dynamics and nucleosynthesis in supernovae, and probing the nature of particle acceleration in relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei. A number of additional observations will be included in the primary mission, and a. guest observer program will be proposed for an extended mission to expand the range of scientific targets. The payload consists of two co-aligned depth-graded multilayer coated grazing incidence optics focused onto solid state CdZnTe pixel detectors. To be launched in early 2012 on a Pegasus rocket into a low-inclination Earth orbit. NuSTAR largely avoids SAA passages, and will therefore have low and stable detector backgrounds. The telescope achieves a 10.15-meter focal length through on-orbit deployment of all mast. An aspect and alignment metrology system enable reconstruction of the absolute aspect and variations in the telescope alignment resulting from mast flexure during ground data processing. Data will be publicly available at GSFC's High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC) following validation at the science operations center located at Caltech.

High Spectral Resolution, High Cadence, Imaging X-Ray Microcalorimeters for Solar Physics

High spectral resolution, high cadence, imaging x-ray spectroscopy has the potential to revolutionize the study of the solar corona. To that end we have been developing transition-edge-sensor (TES) based x-ray micro calorimeter arrays for future solar physics missions where imaging and high energy resolution spectroscopy will enable previously impossible studies of the dynamics and energetics of the solar corona. The characteristics of these x-ray microcalorimeters are significantly different from conventional micro calorimeters developed for astrophysics because they need to accommodate much higher count rates (300-1000 cps) while maintaining high energy resolution of less than 4 eV FWHM in the X-ray energy band of 0.2-10 keV. The other main difference is a smaller pixel size (less than 75 x 75 square microns) than is typical for x-ray micro calorimeters in order to provide angular resolution less than 1 arcsecond. We have achieved at energy resolution of 2.15 eV at 6 keV in a pixel with a 12 x 12 square micron TES sensor and 34 x 34 x 9.1 micron gold absorber, and a resolution of 2.30 eV at 6 keV in a pixel with a 35 x 35 micron TES and a 57 x 57 x 9.1 micron gold absorber. This performance has been achieved in pixels that are fabricated directly onto solid substrates, ie. they are not supported by silicon nitride membranes. We present the results from these detectors, the expected performance at high count-rates, and prospects for the use of this technology for future Solar missions.

We present the first detailed study of an 8-channel2×2 mm$^{2}$ WSi superconducting microwire single photondetector (SMSPD) array exposed to 120 GeV proton beam and 8 GeVelectron and pion beam at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility. TheSMSPD detection efficiency was measured for the first time forprotons, electrons, and pions, enabled by the use of a silicontracking telescope that provided precise spatial resolution of30 μm for 120 GeV protons and 130 μm for 8 GeVelectrons and pions. The result demonstrated consistent detectionefficiency across pixels and at different bias currents. Timeresolution of 1.15 ns was measured for the first time for SMSPDwith proton, electron, and pions, enabled by the use of an MCP-PMTwhich provided a ps-level reference time stamp. The resultspresented is the first step towards developing SMSPD array systemsoptimized for high energy particle detection and identification forfuture accelerator-based experiments.

Neutron detection efficiency measurements of organic glass scintillator arrays

We characterize the neutron detection efficiency of pixelated organic glass scintillator (OGS) arrays manufactured in two ways: an additive method in which the OGS is cast in place in a pixelated mold, and a subtractive method in which the scintillator is first cast as a large block before being cut in bars and bonded together to form the array. The cast-in-place array utilizes a mixture of “bis(9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)diphenylsilane” (P2), “tri([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)(phenyl)silane” (PB3), and “4-bis(2-methylstyryl)benzene” (MSB), and 50% by weight of polystyrene is added to the mixture for subtractive manufactured array. We compare the performance of the OGS arrays to that of an EJ-299-33M plastic scintillator array that was manufactured using a subtractive process similar to that of the second OGS array.

Pulse shape measurements for neutron/gamma discrimination using the TOFPET2 ASIC

Many highly pixelated organic scintillator detection systems would benefit from independent readout of each scintillator pixel. Recent advances in Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) technology makes this goal feasible, however the data acquisition from potentially hundreds or thousands of channels requires a low-cost and compact solution. For pixelated neutron detection with organic scintillators, the capability to distinguish between neutron and gamma interactions using Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) is required along with pulse charge and time of arrival. The TOFPET2 ASIC from PETsys Electronics is a 64-channel readout chip providing pulse time and charge integration measurements from SiPMs, and is specifically designed for time-of-flight positron-emission tomography. Using an 8 × 8 array of 6 mm × 6 mm J-series SiPMs from SensL/OnSemi (ArrayJ-60035-64P-PCB), we have studied the energy and PSD performance of the TOFPET2 ASIC using a 4 × 4 array of 6 mm × 6 mm × 30 mm trans -Stilbene crystals from Inrad Optics and a custom SiPM routing board from PETsys Electronics. In conclusion, using a time-over-threshold method, we measure a maximum PSD figure-of-merit of approximately 1.2 at 478 keV (the Compton edge of 662 keV) for a J-series SiPM operating at an over-voltage of 3V.

We present the design and characterization of the first fullchain precision timing prototype ASIC, named ETL Readout Chipversion 1 (ETROC1) for the CMS MTD endcap timing layer (ETL)upgrade. The ETL utilizes Low Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) sensors todetect charged particles, with the goal to achieve a time resolutionof 40–50 ps per hit, and 30–40 ps per track with hits from twodetector layers. The ETROC1 is composed of a 5 × 5 pixelarray and peripheral circuits. The pixel array includes a4 × 4 active pixel array with an H-tree shaped networkdelivering clock and charge injection signals. Each active pixel iscomposed of various components, including a bump pad, a chargeinjection circuit, a pre-amplifier, a discriminator, adigital-to-analog converter, and a time-to-digital converter. Thesecomponents play essential roles as the front-end link in processingLGAD signals and measuring timing-related information. Theperipheral circuits provide clock signals and readoutfunctionalities. The size of the ETROC1 chip is7 mm× 9 mm. ETROC1 has been fabricated in a 65 nmCMOS process, and extensively tested under stimuli of chargeinjection, infrared laser, and proton beam. The time resolution ofbump-bonded ETROC1 + LGAD chipsets reaches 42–46 ps per hit in thebeam test.

GIFTS SM EDU Level 1B Algorithms

The Geosynchronous Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer (GIFTS) SensorModule (SM) Engineering Demonstration Unit (EDU) is a high resolution spectral imager designed to measure infrared (IR) radiances using a Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS). The GIFTS instrument employs three focal plane arrays (FPAs), which gather measurements across the long-wave IR (LWIR), short/mid-wave IR (SMWIR), and visible spectral bands. The raw interferogram measurements are radiometrically and spectrally calibrated to produce radiance spectra, which are further processed to obtain atmospheric profiles via retrieval algorithms. This paper describes the GIFTS SM EDU Level 1B algorithms involved in the calibration. The GIFTS Level 1B calibration procedures can be subdivided into four blocks. In the first block, the measured raw interferograms are first corrected for the detector nonlinearity distortion, followed by the complex filtering and decimation procedure. In the second block, a phase correction algorithm is applied to the filtered and decimated complex interferograms. The resulting imaginary part of the spectrum contains only the noise component of the uncorrected spectrum. Additional random noise reduction can be accomplished by applying a spectral smoothing routine to the phase-corrected spectrum. The phase correction and spectral smoothing operations are performed on a set of interferogram scans for both ambient and hot blackbody references. To continue with the calibration, we compute the spectral responsivity based on the previous results, from which, the calibrated ambient blackbody (ABB), hot blackbody (HBB), and scene spectra can be obtained. We now can estimate the noise equivalent spectral radiance (NESR) from the calibrated ABB and HBB spectra. The correction schemes that compensate for the fore-optics offsets and off-axis effects are also implemented. In the third block, we developed an efficient method of generating pixel performance assessments. In addition, a random pixel selection scheme is designed based on the pixel performance evaluation. Finally, in the fourth block, the single pixel algorithms are applied to the entire FPA.

Low Frequency 1/f Noise on QWIPs, nBn, and Superlattice Focal Plane Array

Noise Equivalent Difference Temperature (NE△T) is a standard performance metric for most infrared focal plane array (FPA) systems. The frequency bandwidth and range associated with NE△T is at high frequency and it does not describe the long time noise behavior or the very low frequency noise of the FPA. Very low frequency noise measurement requires data capture that takes longer time duration and sampling interval. This study investigates low frequency noise in QWIP, nBn and LWIR n-type Complementary Barrier Infrared Detector (CBIRD) FPAs. The corner frequencies are extracted from the power spectral density (PSD) as function of frequency. The peak wavelength, quantum efficiency of QWIP detector are 6.2 µm and 2 %, respectively. QWIP FPA has a mean NE△T ~ 25 mK at an operating temperature of 65 K and an integration time of 16 msec. The mean QWIP PSD plot shows a corner frequency of < 0.5 mHz. The nBn FPA with 4 µm cut off and quantum efficiency of 67 % has NE△T ~ 15.6 mK at an integration time ~ 7.52 msec and an operating temperature of 120 K. The nBn has corner frequency of > 50 mHz. Lastly the n-type CBIRD FPA with a 50% cutoff at 8.8 µm and quantum efficiency of ~ 50 % has an NE△T ~ 18.6 mK at an integration time of 1.86 msec and operating temperature 120 K. The superlattice FPA has a corner frequency ~ 10 mHz. The investigation of the tail on the NE△T histogram reveals that its origin is not accounted for entirely by the high noise current, but also it needs the inclusion of lower responsivity for some pixels.
