Supercon<strong>du</strong>cting Read Out for Microcalorimeters<br />

In the frame of the development of cryogenic instruments with large array sizes, as required to meet the science requirements,<br />

it is proposed to develop a low noise readout electronics, specifically tailored to x-ray microcalorimeter arrays. In this<br />

development program a low noise readout electronics based on a high bandwidth Super-Con<strong>du</strong>cting Quantum Interference<br />

Device (SQUID) will be studied, in conjunction with a suitable multiplexing scheme. The main issues to be addressed include<br />

the design of the amplifier system, power requirements, noise performance and the thermal requirements of the amplifier<br />

readout. These issues will be studied theoretically and then validated against breadboard designs and models.<br />

Deliverables:<br />

Technical Note (design of the amplifier system with multiplexing scheme, power requirements, noise performance and the<br />

thermal requirements of the amplifier readout). Breadboard (+testing).<br />

Supercon<strong>du</strong>cting Read Out for Supercon<strong>du</strong>cting tunnel junctions<br />

In the frame of the development of cryogenic instruments with large array sizes, as required to meet the science requirements,<br />

it is proposed to develop a low noise readout electronics for supercon<strong>du</strong>cting tunnel juncions. The electronics shall be based<br />

on high bandwidth Super-Con<strong>du</strong>cting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUID) in conjunction with a suitable multiplexing<br />

scheme. The main issues to be addressed include the design of the amplifier system, power requirements, noise<br />

performance, re<strong>du</strong>ction of channels through multiplexing and the thermal requirements of the amplifier readout. These issues<br />

will be studied theoretically and then validated against breadboard designs and models.<br />

Deliverables:<br />

Technical Note (design of the amplifier system including multiplexing topology, power requirements, noise performance and<br />

the thermal requirements of the amplifier readout). Breadboard (+testing).<br />
