Modeling Athermal Phonons in Novel Materials using the G4CMP Simulation Toolkit
Israel Hernandez, Ryan Linehan, Rakshya Khatiwada +7
Understanding phonon and charge propagation in superconducting devices plays an important role in both performing low-threshold dark matter searches and limiting correlated errors…
Listening For New Physics With Quantum Acoustics
Ryan Linehan, Tanner Trickle, Christopher R. Conner +4
We present a novel application of a qubit-coupled phonon detector to search for new physics, e.g., ultralight dark matter (DM) and high-frequency gravitational waves. The detector,…
The GammaTPC Gamma-Ray Telescope Concept
Tom Shutt, Bahrudin Trbalic, Eric Charles +8
We present GammaTPC, a transformative 0.1-10 MeV -ray instrument concept featuring a tracker using a liquid argon time projection chamber (LAr TPC) technology with the novel GA…
Accelerating Surface Radiation Content to Investigate the Impact of Radon Progeny on Superconducting Qubits
Sagar S. Poudel, Dylan J. Temples, Ryan Linehan +8
Ionizing radiation in the form of , , , and additional high-energy particles can induce decoherence via phonon and quasiparticle poisoning in superconducting qubits. Re…
