Nuclear-recoil energy scale in CDMS II silicon dark-matter detectors
R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, T. Aramaki +106
The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS II) experiment aims to detect dark matter particles that elastically scatter from nuclei in semiconductor detectors. The resulting nuclear-re…
Thermal detection of single e-h pairs in a biased silicon crystal detector
R. K. Romani, P. L. Brink, B. Cabrera +11
We demonstrate that individual electron-hole pairs are resolved in a 1 cm by 4 mm thick silicon crystal (0.93 g) operated at 35 mK. One side of the detector is patterned…
Projected Sensitivity of the SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment
R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, T. Aramaki +93
SuperCDMS SNOLAB will be a next-generation experiment aimed at directly detecting low-mass (< 10 GeV/c) particles that may constitute dark matter by using cryogenic detectors o…
Measurement Of Quasiparticle Transport In Aluminum Films Using Tungsten Transition-Edge Sensors
J. J. Yen, B. Shank, B. A. Young +8
We report new experimental studies to understand the physics of phonon sensors which utilize quasiparticle diffusion in thin aluminum films into tungsten transition-edge-sensors (T…
Nonlinear Optimal Filter Technique For Analyzing Energy Depositions In TES Sensors Driven Into Saturation
B. Shank, J. J. Yen, B. Cabrera +7
We present a detailed thermal and electrical model of superconducting transition edge sensors (TESs) connected to quasiparticle (qp) traps, such as the W TESs connected to Al qp tr…
CDMSlite: A Search for Low-Mass WIMPs using Voltage-Assisted Calorimetric Ionization Detection in the SuperCDMS Experiment
R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, M. Asai +77
SuperCDMS is an experiment designed to directly detect Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), a favored candidate for dark matter ubiquitous in the Universe. In this paper,…
Demonstration of Surface Electron Rejection with Interleaved Germanium Detectors for Dark Matter Searches
R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, D. Balakishiyeva +88
The SuperCDMS experiment in the Soudan Underground Laboratory searches for dark matter with a 9-kg array of cryogenic germanium detectors. Symmetric sensors on opposite sides measu…
