Metallic magnetic calorimeters are particle detectors that provide a high energy resolution over a large energy range as well as an excellent linearity. They convert the energy of a single incoming photon into a temperature rise, leading to a change of magnetization in a paramagnetic Au:Er temperature sensor that is inductively read out by a SQUID magnetometer. Three different detector arrays, optimized for x-rays with energies up to 20, 30 and 200 keV respectively are presently developed as well as a compton polarimeter. With a detector optimized for 200 keV photons we performed two successful measurements at the Experimental Storage Ring at GSI. The detector was operated at T = 20mK and was attached to the tip of a 400 mm long and 80 mm wide cold finger of a cryogen free 3He/4He-dilution refrigerator. During the two beamtimes we achieved an energy resolution below 60 eV for photon energies up to 60 keV and investigated projectile beams of Au76+ and Xe54+ colliding with a Xe gas target, respectively. We were able to identify the Lyman series of Xe53+ up to Ly-η as well as spectral lines from He-like Xe and show that metallic magnetic Calorimeters will be a promising tool for future precision experiments at FAIR.
