A transition-edge-sensor (TES) microcalorimeter has been developed for measurement of X-rays and $$gamma$$-rays with ultra-high energy resolution. In this work, we developed a four-pixel TES microcalorimeter to measure L X-rays emitted by transuranium elements. Each TES was composed of bilayer film of a 120-nm-thick Au layer and a 50-nm-thick Ti layer, and the transition temperature was approximately 130 mK. An absorber deposited on each Au-Ti bilayer was a 5-$$mu$$m-thick layer of Au to achieve an absorption efficiency of 35-80% for the energy range of L X-rays (10-30 keV). The developed four pixel TES microcalorimeter was irradiated with L X-rays emitted form Pu-238, Pu-239, and Am-241 sources. As the result, we obtained an L X-ray energy spectrum with high energy resolution of $$sim$$40 eV (full width at half maximum) for an L X-ray of 17.75 keV.
