| contents | We investigate the crosstalk between Transition-Edge Sensor (TES) pixels in a prototype 24-pixel hard X-ray array fabricated at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory. Analysis shows thermal cross talk, possibly associated with insufficient thermalization, and rare but large in magnitude electrical crosstalk between specific perpetrator-victim pixel combinations, potentially due to deficiencies in the bias wiring or microwave multiplexing circuit. We use a method based on group triggering and averaging to isolate the crosstalk response despite only having access to X-ray photon illumination uniform across the entire array. This allows us to identify thermal and electrical crosstalk between pixel pairs in repeated measurements to the level of 1 part in 1000 or better. In the array under study, the magnitude of observed crosstalk is small but comparable to the resolving power of this pixel design (E/$Δ$E $\sim$ 1000 at 20 keV) and so potentially responsible for a degradation in energy resolution of the array at high incident photon rates. Having proven the methods to identify and quantify crosstalk in our setup, we can consider mitigations. |
