摘要

We present a simulation framework for the electro-thermal modeling of AlMn transition-edge sensors (TESs) with large-area absorbers, which are essential for the Wide-band X-ray Polarization Telescope (WXPT) to achieve high quantum efficiency across the 3–60 keV science band. The framework incorporates the two-fluid model for the superconducting transition and a dedicated thermal model for the \(\textrm{SiN}_{\textrm{x}}\) SiN x membrane. After experimental validation, the model is applied to quantify position-dependent energy broadening. We implemented an efficient sparse-sampling strategy to map the spatial response. Under a fixed heat-capacity budget, the position-induced broadening is contained below \(6.97\ \textrm{eV}\) 6.97 eV @ \(59.5\ \textrm{keV}\) 59.5 keV . This result is achieved for absorbers with a side length of \(\sim 1\ \textrm{mm}\) 1 mm and supporting pillar widths under \(50\ \upmu \textrm{m}\) 50 μ m , further confirming the design’s effectiveness. This work provides a predictive simulation tool and concrete geometrical constraints to guide the design of the WXPT focal-plane array.
