Characterization of Aluminum Microwave SQUID Multiplexers for CENS Detection
James Amidei, Antoine Armatol, Corinne Augier +92
We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of an aluminum-based six-channel microwave SQUID multiplexer (MUX) prototype for transition-edge sensor (TES) readout in…
Finding Trafficked Radiological Materials via Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering
Brianna N Ryan, Harold Douglas Pinckney D Pinckney, Michael P Short +1
The potential to use neutrinos for nuclear non-proliferation has been heavily debated due to the tension between production abundance and low interaction rate. A newly detected neu…
Spontaneous generation of athermal phonon bursts within bulk silicon causing excess noise, low energy background events and quasiparticle poisoning in superconducting sensors
C. L. Chang, Y. -Y. Chang, M. Garcia-Sciveres +25
Solid state phonon detectors used in the search for dark matter and coherent neutrino nucleus interactions (CENS) require excellent energy resolution (eV-scale or below) and low…
Design Studies Of A Pulsed Quasimonoenergetic 2-keV Neutron Source For Calibration Of Low Threshold Dark Matter Detectors
L. Chaplinsky, S. Fiorucci, C. W. Fink +25
We describe design studies for a pulsed quasi-monoenergetic 2-keV neutron source for calibration of sub-keV nuclear recoils. Such a calibration is required for detectors sensitive…
Results from a Prototype TES Detector for the Ricochet Experiment
Ricochet Collaboration, C. Augier, G. Baulieu +88
Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CENS) offers valuable sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model. The Ricochet experiment will use cryogenic solid-state dete…
A portable and high intensity 24 keV neutron source based on Sb-Be photoneutrons and an iron filter
A. Biekert, C. Chang, L. Chaplinsky +27
A portable monoenergetic 24 keV neutron source based on the Sb-Be photoneutron reaction and an iron filter has been constructed and characterized. The coincidence of th…
A Stress Induced Source of Phonon Bursts and Quasiparticle Poisoning
Robin Anthony-Petersen, Andreas Biekert, Raymond Bunker +43
The performance of superconducting qubits is degraded by a poorly characterized set of energy sources breaking the Cooper pairs responsible for superconductivity, creating a condit…
Ricochet Progress and Status
Ricochet Collaboration, G. Beaulieu, V. Belov +77
We present an overview of recent progress towards the Ricochet coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering CENS experiment. The ILL research reactor in Grenoble, France has bee…
Transition Edge Sensor Chip Design of Modular CEνNS Detector for the Ricochet Experiment
R. Chen, H. Douglas Pinckney, E. Figueroa-Feliciano +2
Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CENS) offers a valuable approach in searching for physics beyond the Standard Model. The Ricochet experiment aims to perform a prec…
The Thermal Conductance of Sapphire Ball Based Detector Clamps
H. D. Pinckney, G. Yacteen, A. Serafin +1
In order to provide secure clamping with a low thermal conductance, some low temperature detectors are held with point contact sapphire ball clamps. While this method is increasing…
Nuclear Recoil Scintillation Linearity of a High Pressure He Gas Detector
A. Biekert, S. A. Hertel, E. Huebler +6
We investigate scintillation linearity of a commercial high pressure He gas detector using monoenergetic 2.8 MeV neutrons from a deuterium-deuterium fusion neutron generator. T…
Single Electron-Hole Pair Sensitive Silicon Detector with Surface Event Rejection
Ziqing Hong, Runze Ren, Noah Kurinsky +8
We demonstrate single electron-hole pair resolution in a single-sided, contact-free 1 cm by 1 mm thick Si crystal operated at 48 mK, with a baseline energy resolution of 3 eV.…
