Monte Carlo calculations of cryogenic photodetector readout of scintillating GaAs for dark matter detection
Stephen E. Derenzo
The recent discovery that GaAs(Si,B) is a bright cryogenic scintillator with no apparent afterglow offers new opportunities for detecting rare, low-energy, electronic excitations f…
Large active-area superconducting microwire detector array with single-photon sensitivity in the near-infrared
Jamie S. Luskin, Ekkehart Schmidt, Boris Korzh +16
Superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) are the highest-performing technology for time-resolved single-photon counting from the UV to the near-infrared. The recen…
Monte Carlo Calculations of the Extraction of Scintillation Light from Cryogenic N-type GaAs
Stephen Derenzo
The high scintillation luminosity of n-type GaAs at 10K is surprising because (1) with a refractive index of about 3.5, escape is inhibited by total internal reflection and (2) nar…
GaAs as a bright cryogenic scintillator for the direct dark matter detection
S. Vasiukov, F. Chiossi, C. Braggio +4
The optical and scintillation properties of undoped, Si-doped, and Si, B co-doped GaAs samples were studied. The light yield specification and X-ray luminescence of GaAs over a wid…
