Highly-charged heavy ions are model systems for the investigation of quantum electrodynamical effects in strong electromagnetic fields.

We are developing x-ray detectors based on 1x8 arrays of Metallic Magnetic Calorimeters (MMCs) optimized for the spectroscopy of highly-charged ions at GSI/FAIR and the EBIT facility at the MPI for nuclear Physics in Heidelberg. One of the detector arrays (maXs-20) is designed to provide an energy resolution below 3 eV (FWHM) and sufficient stopping power for x-rays in the energy range up to 20 keV. The second device (maXs-200) is optimized for the detection of x-rays up to 200 keV and should yield an energy resolution below 30 eV (FWHM).

We present detector designs, outline the micro-fabrication process and discuss the results of characterization measurements with ⁵⁵Fe and ²⁴¹Am calibration sources including energy resolution, signal rise time and cross-talk between adjacent detectors of both arrays.
