Smart readout of nondestructive image sensors with single-photon sensitivity
Fernando Chierchie, Guillermo Fernandez Moroni, Leandro Stefanazzi +5
Image sensors with nondestructive charge readout provide single-photon or single-electron sensitivity, but at the cost of long readout times. We present a smart readout technique t…
The QICK (Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit): Readout and control for qubits and detectors
Leandro Stefanazzi, Ken Treptow, Neal Wilcer +12
We introduce a Xilinx RFSoC-based qubit controller (called the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, or QICK for short) which supports the direct synthesis of control pulses with ca…
The Skipper CCD for low-energy threshold particle experiments above ground
Guillermo Fernandez Moroni, Fernando Chierchie, Javier Tiffenberg +11
We present experimental results using a single-electron resolution Skipper-CCD running above ground level to demonstrate the potential of this technology for its use in reactor neu…
Analog pile-up circuit technique using a single capacitor for the readout of Skipper-CCD detectors
Miguel Sofo Haro, Claudio Chavez, Jose Lipovetzky +8
With Skipper-CCD detectors it is possible to take multiple samples of the charge packet collected on each pixel. After averaging the samples, the noise can be extremely reduced all…
SENSEI: Characterization of Single-Electron Events Using a Skipper-CCD
Liron Barak, Itay M. Bloch, Ana Botti +22
We use a science-grade Skipper Charge Coupled Device (Skipper-CCD) operating in a low-radiation background environment to develop a semi-empirical model that characterizes the orig…
