High-impedence NbSi TES sensors for studying the cosmic microwave background radiation
Claudia Nones, Stefanos Marnieros, Alain Benoit +6
Precise measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) are crucial in cosmology, because any proposed model of the universe must account for the features of this radiation.…
Validation of techniques to mitigate copper surface contamination in CUORE
F. Alessandria, R. Ardito, D. R. Artusa +115
In this article we describe the background challenges for the CUORE experiment posed by surface contamination of inert detector materials such as copper, and present three techniqu…
Search for 14.4 keV solar axions from M1 transition of Fe-57 with CUORE crystals
The Cuore Collaboration, F. Alessandria, R. Ardito +112
We report the results of a search for axions from the 14.4 keV M1 transition from Fe-57 in the core of the sun using the axio-electric effect in TeO2 bolometers. The detectors are…
The low energy spectrum of TeO2 bolometers: results and dark matter perspectives for the CUORE-0 and CUORE experiments
F. Alessandria, R. Ardito, D. R. Artusa +113
We collected 19.4 days of data from four 750 g TeO2 bolometers, and in three of them we were able to set the energy threshold around 3 keV using a new analysis technique. We found…
A search for low-mass WIMPs with EDELWEISS-II heat-and-ionization detectors
EDELWEISS Collaboration, E. Armengaud, C. Augier +52
We report on a search for low-energy (E < 20 keV) WIMP-induced nuclear recoils using data collected in 2009 - 2010 by EDELWEISS from four germanium detectors equipped with thermal…
