Characterisation of silicon photomultipliers in a dilution refrigerator down to 9.4 mK towards a cryogenic cosmic-ray muon veto system
DMC Collaboration, A. Kemp, S. Autti +30
We report the characterisation of a FBK NUV-HD-cryo silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) sensor operated in a 9.4 0.2 mK environment inside a dilution refrigerator, towards the dev…
Development of superfluid helium-3 bolometry using nanowire resonators with SQUID readout for the QUEST-DMC experiment
DMC Collaboration, E. Leason, L. V. Levitin +28
Superfluid helium-3 bolometers can be utilised for dark matter direct detection searches. The extremely low heat capacity of the B phase of the superfluid helium-3 at ultra-low tem…
Dark Matter EFT Landscape Probed by QUEST-DMC
DMC Collaboration, N. Darvishi, S. Autti +27
We present the projected sensitivity to non-relativistic Effective Field Theory (EFT) operators for Dark Matter (DM) direct detection using the QUEST-DMC experiment. QUEST-DMC empl…
Time crystal optomechanics
J. T. Mäkinen, P. J. Heikkinen, S. Autti +2
Time crystals are an enigmatic phase of matter in which a quantum mechanical system displays repetitive, observable motion - they spontaneously break the time translation symmetry.…
Dark Matter Attenuation Effects: Sensitivity Ceilings for Spin-Dependent and Spin-Independent Interactions
DMC Collaboration, N. Darvishi, J. Smirnov +27
Direct detection experiments aimed at uncovering the elusive nature of dark matter (DM) have made significant progress in probing ever lower cross-sections for DM-nucleon interacti…
Chiral superfluid helium-3 in the quasi-two-dimensional limit
Petri J. Heikkinen, Lev V. Levitin, Xavier Rojas +8
Anisotropic pair breaking close to surfaces favors the chiral A phase of the superfluid He over the time-reversal invariant B phase. Confining the superfluid He into a cavi…
QUEST-DMC: Background Modelling and Resulting Heat Deposit for a Superfluid Helium-3 Bolometer
S. Autti, A. Casey, N. Eng +21
We report the results of radioactivity assays and heat leak calculations for a range of common cryogenic materials, considered for use in the QUEST-DMC superfluid 3He dark matter d…
A-B transition in superfluid He and cosmological phase transitions
Mark Hindmarsh, J. A. Sauls, Kuang Zhang +10
First order phase transitions in the very early universe are a prediction of many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics and could provide the departure from equilibr…
Nanofluidic platform for studying the first-order phase transitions in superfluid helium-3
Petri J. Heikkinen, Nathan Eng, Lev V. Levitin +9
The symmetry-breaking first-order phase transition between superfluid phases He-A and He-B can be triggered extrinsically by ionising radiation or heterogeneous nucleation…
Long nanomechanical resonators with circular cross-section
Samuli Autti, Andrew Casey, Marie Connelly +23
Fabrication of superconducting nanomechanical resonators for quantum research, detectors and devices traditionally relies on a lithographic process, resulting in oscillators with s…
QUEST-DMC superfluid He detector for sub-GeV dark matter
S. Autti, A. Casey, N. Eng +22
The focus of dark matter searches to date has been on Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) in the GeV/-TeV/ mass range. The direct, indirect and collider searches…
Rotating quantum wave turbulence
J. T. Mäkinen, S. Autti, P. J. Heikkinen +6
Rotating turbulence is ubiquitous in nature. Previous works suggest that such turbulence could be described as an ensemble of interacting inertial waves across a wide range of leng…
Nonlinear two-level dynamics of quantum time crystals
Samuli Autti, Petri J Heikkinen, Jaakko Nissinen +4
A time crystal is a macroscopic quantum system in periodic motion in its ground state, stable only if isolated from energy exchange with the environment. For this reason, coupling…
AC Josephson effect between two superfluid time crystals
Samuli Autti, Petri J. Heikkinen, Jere T. Mäkinen +3
Quantum time crystals are systems characterised by spontaneously emerging periodic order in the time domain. A range of such phases has been reported. The concept has even been dis…
Fragility of surface states in topological superfluid He
P. J. Heikkinen, A. Casey, L. V. Levitin +6
Topological superfluid He, with unconventional spin-triplet p-wave pairing, provides a model system for topological superconductors, which have attracted significant interest t…
Light Higgs channel of the resonant decay of magnon condensate in superfluid He-B
V. V. Zavjalov, S. Autti, V. B. Eltsov +2
In superfluids the order parameter, which describes spontaneous symmetry breaking, is an analogue of the Higgs field in the Standard Model of particle physics. Oscillations of the…
