First measurement of the nuclear-recoil ionization yield in silicon at 100 eV
M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib, D. Alonso +137
We measured the nuclear--recoil ionization yield in silicon with a cryogenic phonon-sensitive gram-scale detector. Neutrons from a mono-energetic beam scatter off of the silicon nu…
A Stress Induced Source of Phonon Bursts and Quasiparticle Poisoning
Robin Anthony-Petersen, Andreas Biekert, Raymond Bunker +43
The performance of superconducting qubits is degraded by a poorly characterized set of energy sources breaking the Cooper pairs responsible for superconductivity, creating a condit…
A Strategy for Low-Mass Dark Matter Searches with Cryogenic Detectors in the SuperCDMS SNOLAB Facility
SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib +125
The SuperCDMS Collaboration is currently building SuperCDMS SNOLAB, a dark matter search focused on nucleon-coupled dark matter in the 1-5 GeV/c mass range. Looking to the futu…
Ionization yield measurement in a germanium CDMSlite detector using photo-neutron sources
SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib +126
Two photo-neutron sources, YBe and SbBe, have been used to investigate the ionization yield of nuclear recoils in the CDMSlite germanium detectors by the…
Scintillation yield from electronic and nuclear recoils in superfluid He
HeRALD Collaboration, A. Biekert, C. Chang +30
Superfluid He is a promising target material for direct detection of light ( 1 GeV) dark matter. Possible signal channels available for readout in this medium include prompt…
Performance of a Large Area Photon Detector For Rare Event Search Applications
CPD Collaboration, C. W. Fink, S. L. Watkins +15
We present the design and characterization of a large-area Cryogenic PhotoDetector (CPD) designed for active particle identification in rare event searches, such as neutrinoless do…
Characterizing TES Power Noise for Future Single Optical-Phonon and Infrared-Photon Detectors
C. W. Fink, S. L. Watkins, T. Aramaki +14
In this letter, we present the performance of a tungsten (W) Transition-Edge Sensor (TES) with a critical temperature…
Modeling of Impact Ionization and Charge Trapping in SuperCDMS HVeV Detectors
F. Ponce, W. Page, P. L. Brink +12
A model for charge trapping and impact ionization, and an experiment to measure these parameters is presented for the SuperCDMS HVeV detector. A procedure to isolate and quantify t…
Measuring the Impact Ionization and Charge Trapping Probabilities in SuperCDMS HVeV Phonon Sensing Detectors
F. Ponce, W. Page, P. L. Brink +12
A 0.93 gram cm SuperCDMS silicon HVeV detector operated at 30 mK was illuminated by 1.91 eV photons using a room temperature pulsed laser coupled to the…
Production Rate Measurement of Tritium and Other Cosmogenic Isotopes in Germanium with CDMSlite
SuperCDMS Collaboration, R. Agnese, T. Aralis +95
Future direct searches for low-mass dark matter particles with germanium detectors, such as SuperCDMS SNOLAB, are expected to be limited by backgrounds from radioactive isotopes ac…
Energy Loss Due to Defect Formation from Pb Recoils in SuperCDMS Germanium Detectors
