Dark Matter Detection Using Helium Evaporation and Field Ionization
Humphrey J. Maris, George M. Seidel, Derek Stein
We describe a method for dark matter detection based on the evaporation of helium atoms from a cold surface and their subsequent detection using field ionization. When a dark matte…
Critical dislocation speed in helium-4 crystals
Ariel Haziot, Andrew Fefferman, Fabien Souris +3
Our experiments show that in He crystals, the binding of He impurities to dislocations does not necessarily imply their pinning. Indeed, in these crystals, there are two di…
Picosecond Ultrasonic Measurements Using an Optical Cavity
Yanqiu Li, Qian Miao, Arto Nurmikko +1
A detailed analysis of the use of an optical cavity to enhance picosecond ultrasonic signals is presented. The optical cavity is formed between a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR)…
Stability of multi-electron bubbles in liquid helium
Wei Guo, Dafei Jin, Humphrey J. Maris
The stability of multi-electron bubbles in liquid helium is investigated theoretically. We find that multi-electron bubbles are unstable against fission whenever the pressure is po…
Potential for Precision Measurement of Solar Neutrino Luminosity by HERON
Y. H. Huang, R. E. Lanou, H. J. Maris +3
Results are presented for a simulation carried out to test the precision with which a detector design (HERON) based on a superfluid helium target material should be able to measure…
Nucleation in a Fermi liquid at negative pressure
Frederic Caupin, Sebastien Balibar, Humphrey J. Maris
Experimental investigation of cavitation in liquid helium 3 has revealed a singular behaviour in the degenerate region at low temperature. As the temperature decreases below 80 mK,…
