New Experimentally Observable Gamma-ray Emissions from 241Am Nuclear Decay

Katrina E. Koehler, Michael D. Yoho, Matthew H. Carpenter +16

With the high resolution of microcalorimeter detectors, previously unresolvable gamma-ray lines are now clearly resolvable. A careful measurement of Am-241 decay with a large array…

A Model for Excess Johnson Noise in Superconducting Transition-edge Sensors

Abigail Wessels, Kelsey Morgan, Daniel T. Becker +9

Transition-Edge Sensors (TESs) are two-dimensional superconducting films used to detect energy or power. TESs are voltage biased in the resistive transition where the film resistan…
