NA62 Liquid Krypton Purity Monitor

Johan Bremer, Douglas Bryman, Hans Danielsson +6

A system for determining the purity of liquid krypton employed in the NA62 rare kaon decay experiment at CERN was developed based on the use of a time projection chamber. The atten…

On the mechanical quality factors of cryogenic test masses from fused silica and crystalline quartz

Anja Schroeter, Ronny Nawrodt, Roman Schnabel +11

Current interferometric gravitational wave detectors (IGWDs) are operated at room temperature with test masses made from fused silica. Fused silica shows very low absorption at the…

Mechanical losses in low loss materials studied by Cryogenic Resonant Acoustic spectroscopy of bulk materials (CRA spectroscopy)

Anja Zimmer, Ronny Nawrodt, Daniel Heinert +6

Mechanical losses of crystalline silicon and calcium fluoride have been analyzed in the temperature range from 5 to 300 K by our novel mechanical spectroscopy method, cryogenic res…

High-sensitivity tool for studying phonon related mechanical losses in low loss materials

Daniel Heinert, Anja Zimmer, Ronny Nawrodt +6

Fundamental mechanical loss mechanisms exist even in very pure materials, for instance, due to the interactions of excited acoustic waves with thermal phonons. A reduction of these…
