Effect of total dose proton irradiation on the performance of Kinetic Inductance Detectors for far-Infrared space observatory
A. Besnard, G. Conenna, V. Sauvage +5
Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) are a promising technology for future space missions, where exposure to high-energy particles may affect detector performance. In this work, we…
Study of cosmic ray impacts on cryogenic high sensitivity detectors
Anaïs Besnard, Valentin Sauvage, Bruno Maffei
After the Planck mission's launch in 2009, bolometers of its High Frequency Instrument (HFI) were considerably affected by cosmic rays, which necessitated several years of post-tre…
TES Proton Irradiation Result Analysis for Future Space Applications
A. Besnard, V. Sauvage, S. L. Stever +8
As observed on the signal of the Planck-HFI highly sensitive bolometers, the effect of cosmic rays on detectors is a major concern for future similar space missions. Their instrume…
Benefits of bolometer Joule stepping and Joule pulsing
Samantha Lynn Stever, François Couchot, Valentin Sauvage +1
We introduce the `Joule stepping' technique, whereupon a constantly-biased bolometer has its bias voltage modified by a small additional step. We demonstrate this technique using a…
