Microcalorimeter: Design considerations, materials and examples

Microcalorimeter and bolometer model

The standard nonequilibrium theory of noise in ideal bolometers and microcalorimeters fails to predict the performance of real devices due to additional effects that become important at low temperature. In this paper we extend the theory to include the most important of these effects and find that the performance of microcalorimeters operating at 60 mK can be quantitatively predicted. We give a...

Recognizing Materials from Virtual Examples

Due to the strong impact of machine learning methods on visual recognition, performance on many perception task is driven by the availability of sufficient training data. A promising direction which has gained new relevance in recent years is the generation of virtual training examples by means of computer graphics methods in order to provide richer training sets for recognition and detection o...

Some General Considerations and Specific Examples in the Design of Algorithms for Synoptic Automatic Weather Stations

SRON ' s TES Microcalorimeter

The 15-year development of the European interpretation of the Transition Edge Sensor (TES) microcalorimeter is described within this document. In essence, a TES microcalorimeter is a high-resolution cryogenic photon detector that converts temperature changes induced by incoming photons into changes in electrical resistance. Conceptually, the device consists of an absorber, a detector, heat sink...

Sustainable temporary shelter design via lightweight and recyclable materials

Background & Objects: Many goals can be imagined for this project, but achieving all these goals is a long and time-consuming task, and it is not possible to achieve all of them in one project, but in general, the main goal of the project is to find a plan that is suitable for temporary housing. can have the most efficiency for the accident victims while causing the least damage to the environm...
