What Does TES Stand For?
TES stands for Transition Edge Sensor
The Transition Edge Sensor (TES) is a highly sensitive detector technology that operates at the transition region between superconductivity and normal conductivity. It is primarily used for measuring low levels of thermal energy and is pivotal in fields such as astroparticle physics, quantum computing, and radio astronomy. TES devices leverage the sharp change in resistance near the superconducting transition to achieve precise energy resolution, enabling the detection of single photons and other faint signals. Their advanced performance makes them essential tools for cutting-edge scientific research and applications.
