Ultralow-Energy Measurements using the Startpoint of Decays
Daniel Kodroff, Michael R. Williams
We propose a novel measurement of decays using low-temperature solid-state detector technologies. The startpoint, where the kinetic energy is zero, offers a unique p…
Photon Calibration Techniques for High Resolution Cryogenic Detectors
William J. Matava, Michael R. Williams
Monoenergetic photons from a pulsed laser diode or LED are commonly used to calibrate the detector response of high-resolution calorimetric detectors. However, when the detector's…
Development Status of the KIPM Detector Consortium
Dylan J Temples, Zoë J. Smith, Selby Q Dang +21
A Kinetic Inductance Phonon-Mediated Detector is a calorimeter that uses kinetic inductance detectors to read out phonon signals from the device substrate. We have established a co…
Low Energy Backgrounds and Excess Noise in a Two-Channel Low-Threshold Calorimeter
Robin Anthony-Petersen, Clarence L. Chang, Yen-Yung Chang +29
We describe observations of low energy excess (LEE) events, background events observed in all light dark matter direct detection calorimeters, and noise in a Transition Edge Sensor…
