We are presently commissioning maXs, an 8x8 detector array of metallic magnetic calorimeters for high resolution X-ray spectroscopy. The detector is operated at T = 20 mK and is attached to the tip of a 400 mm long and 80 mm wide cold finger of a cryogen-free 3He/4He-dilution refrigerator. Metallic magnetic calorimeters are particle detectors that convert the energy of a single incoming photon into a temperature rise, leading to a change of magnetization in an attached paramagnetic temperature sensor that is inductively read out by a SQUID magnetometer. Three different arrays, maXs-20, maXs-30 and maXs-200, optimized for X-rays with energies up to 20, 30 and 200 keV respectively, will be available. The cryogenic platform will also allow to operate polar-maXs, a novel high resolution Compton polarimeter which comprises active low-Z Compton scatterer surrounded by a belt of about 60 maXs-type detector pixels with high stopping power. In the ongoing commissioning phase single channel maXs-20 detectors achieved an energy resolution of 1.6 eV (FWHM) for 6 keV photons, which is unsurpassed by any other micro-calorimeter. The combination with the fast signal rise-time, the large dynamic range and the excellent linearity up to tens of keV of photon energy, will make maXs to a powerful spectrometer for a number of challenging experiments.
