Abstract
Transition-edge sensors (TES) are outstanding calorimeters based on the steep superconductive transition of a metallic film. Among other photon detectors, they are renowned for the fine energy resolution, the photon-number resolving (PNR) capability and an extremely low dark count rate. Due to the broad detection spectrum, from gamma-ray to visible and submillimetre wavelengths, TESs are highly sought-after in a great variety of fields, such as X-ray detection and quantum technologies. Each of these fields demands a step forward in TESs performance with regards to the recovery time and energy resolution. Here we present a program, primarily capable of predicting the performance of TESs. Using established theoretical and empirical methods we developed a software that allows the users to choose active area, thickness, and material composition of a TES and to calculate its performance. Furthermore, the software can simulate TES properties at different working points. The aim of the software is to minimize the production cost and speed up the overall process for the creation of new devices with improved performance.
