Spatial Mapping and Capacitor Trimming Developments to Improve Usable Pixel Yield in PRIMA FIRESS Kilo-Pixel Arrays
Chris Albert, Jonathon Hunacek, Hien Nguyen +14
The Probe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) will use 8 kilo-pixel kinetic inductance detector (KID) arrays in its spectrometer module. We present an improved resonant f…
Dark matter searches with a 13 meV threshold superconducting sensor array
Christopher Albert, Lanqing Yuan, Jacob Harris +13
Many well-motivated dark matter models predict meV-scale energy deposits in interactions with terrestrial experiments, but this regime is challenging to probe due to a lack of matu…
In Situ Interferometric Spatial Mapping Of A Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector Array
Chris Albert, Ritoban Basu Thakur, Farzad Faramarzi +7
We present a method of spatially mapping microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) arrays, in a dark setup. MKIDs are superconducting natively multiplexed resonators which enabl…
Intracluster Medium Fluctuations on Scales up to 1 Mpc: A Combined eROSITA and SPT/Planck Analysis of Abell 3266
H. Saxena, A. Heinrich, J. Sayers +22
Galaxy clusters form through hierarchical assembly, where smaller substructures merge to build the largest gravitationally bound objects in the universe. These mergers, combined wi…
A new and flexible design method for Symmetric Quadrature Hybrid Couplers using Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Arjun Ghosh, Ritoban Basu Thakur
Quadrature Hybrid Couplers (QHDC) are critical components in RF, mm-wave, and sub-mm wave astronomical instrumentation, where wideband performance with minimal passband ripple is e…
A 25-micron single photon sensitive kinetic inductance detector
Peter K. Day, Nicholas F. Cothard, Christopher Albert +15
We report measurements characterizing the performance of a kinetic inductance detector array designed for a wavelength of 25 microns and very low optical background level suitable…
OLIMPO: a Balloon-Borne SZE Imager to Probe ICM Dynamics and the WHIM
Jack Sayers, Camille Avestruz, Ritoban Basu Thakur +20
OLIMPO is a proposed Antarctic balloon-borne Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) imager to study gas dynamics associated with structure formation along with the properties of the warm-…
Significant noise improvement in a Kinetic Inductance Phonon-Mediated detector by use of a wideband parametric amplifier
Karthik Ramanathan, Osmond Wen, Taylor Aralis +9
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) have been demonstrated as capable phonon sensors when coupled to crystalline substrates, and have been proposed as detectors for next…
Wideband Direct Detection Constraints on Hidden Photon Dark Matter with the QUALIPHIDE Experiment
Karthik Ramanathan, Nikita Klimovich, Ritoban Basu Thakur +5
We report direction detection constraints on the presence of hidden photon dark matter with masses between 20-30 ueV using a cryogenic emitter-receiver-amplifier spectroscopy setup…
Performance of a phonon-mediated detector using KIDs optimized for sub-GeV dark matter
Osmond Wen, Taylor Aralis, Ritoban Basu Thakur +4
Detection of sub-GeV dark matter candidates requires sub-keV detector thresholds on deposited energy. We provide an update on a gram-scale phonon-mediated KID-based device that was…
Superconducting On-chip Fourier Transform Spectrometer
R. Basu Thakur, N. Klimovich, P. K . Day +4
Kinetic inductance in thin film superconductors has been used as the basis for low-temperature, low-noise photon detectors. In particular thin films such as NbTiN, TiN, NbN, the ki…
