Abstract
Transition-edge sensors (TES) are detectors able to count single photons from x-ray to infrared, generating pulses with amplitudes proportional to the absorbed photon energy. The TES performance depends on the sensor parameters and also on the noise level. The evaluation of the energy resolution is thus dependent on the type of signal analysis applied.
