Nuclear Data Needs for Microcalorimetry and Non-destructive Assay
Geon-Bo Kim, Begona Aranguren-Barrado, Shamsuzzoha Basunia +5
Cryogenic microcalorimeters are state-of-the-art radiation detectors using superconducting and quantum technologies. They can resolve complex X-ray and low-energy γ-ray spectra wit…
Detecting and Correcting Gain Jumps in TES Microcalorimeters
Thomas A. Baker, Daniel T. Becker, Joseph W. Fowler +3
Arrays of microcalorimeters based on transition-edge sensors (TESs) are being actively deployed to laboratories all over the world. A TES microcalorimeter array produces very large…
Phenomenological Modeling of the Ho Calorimetric Electron Capture Spectrum from the HOLMES Experiment
F. Ahrens, B. K. Alpert, D. T. Becker +46
We present a comprehensive phenomenological analysis of the calorimetric electron capture (EC) decay spectrum of Ho as measured by the HOLMES experiment. Using high-statist…
Towards Precision Spectroscopy of Antiprotonic Atoms for Probing Strong-field QED
Gonçalo Baptista, Shikha Rathi, Michael Roosa +26
PAX (antiProtonic Atom X-ray spectroscopy) is a new experiment with the aim to test strong-field quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects by performing high-precision x-ray spectrosco…
