ABSTRACT:
Provided is an X-ray analyzer capable of significantly suppressing an influence of an external magnetic field on a transition edge sensor (TES). The X-ray analyzer includes: a TES (7) for detecting energy of a received X-ray as a temperature change and outputting the temperature change as a current signal; a superconducting magnetic shield (8) which contains the TES (7) and enters a superconducting state; and a room temperature magnetic shield (9) which covers the superconducting magnetic shield (8) and performs external magnetic field shielding until the superconducting magnetic shield (8) enters the superconducting state, in which the superconducting magnetic shield (8) and the room temperature magnetic shield (9) are concentrically arranged to have a cylindrical shape.
