First Demonstration of the HeRALD Superfluid Helium Detector Concept
R. Anthony-Petersen, A. Biekert, C. L. Chang +33
The SPICE/HeRALD collaboration is performing R&D to enable studies of sub-GeV dark matter models using a variety of target materials. Here we report our recent progress on instrume…
A backing detector for order-keV neutrons
A. Biekert, L. Chaplinsky, C. W. Fink +23
We have designed and tested a large-area (0.15~m) neutron detector based on neutron capture on \ce{^{6}Li}. The neutron detector design has been optimized for the purpose of ta…
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…
Scintillation yield from electronic and nuclear recoils in superfluid He
HeRALD Collaboration, A. Biekert, C. Chang +30
Superfluid He is a promising target material for direct detection of light ( 1 GeV) dark matter. Possible signal channels available for readout in this medium include prompt…
Nuclear spin squeezing in Helium-3 by continuous quantum nondemolition measurement
Alan Serafin, Matteo Fadel, Philipp Treutlein +1
We propose a technique to control the macroscopic collective nuclear spin of a Helium-3 vapor in the quantum regime using light. The scheme relies on metastability exchange collisi…
Nuclear spin squeezing by continuous quantum non-demolition measurement: a theoretical study
Alan Serafin, Yvan Castin, Matteo Fadel +2
We propose to take advantage of the weak coupling of ground-state helium-3 nuclear spin to its environment to produce long-lived macroscopic quantum states, nuclear spin squeezed s…
