Research Highlighs and Featured Platforms

The Superconducting Transition Edge Sensor (TES) is an advanced thermal equilibrium detector technology, typically operating at temperatures between 50 mK and 500 mK. It has extremely high energy resolution and exceptionally low noise, holding significant scientific potential and application value. The research team develops TES detectors for microwave and infrared bands, mastering key aspects including design, fabrication, packaging and testing. It further explores the capabilities of TES in measuring charged particles, broadening its application scope and unlocking its potential for discovering new physics. In collaboration with the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IHEP), SDIAT undertakes the National Key R&D Program "Research and Development of Focal Plane Detector Module for the Primordial Gravitational Wave Telescope”. Addressing the technical requirements of China's Ali Primordial Gravitational Wave Telescope's focal plane detectors, the research team works on the design of TES detector arrays, fabrication process research, integration packaging and testing, magnetic shielding studies, etc. Additionally, it conducts in-depth research on the critical factors affecting TES detector performance and the modulation laws of key parameters.
