Exploring the proximity effect of thin tungsten-aluminum films for phonon-mediated kinetic inductance detectors
G. Del Castello, M. Mancuso, A. Langenkämper +18
Lowering the energy threshold of phonon-mediated kinetic inductance detectors is a key step toward next-generation cryogenic calorimeter arrays with large target mass and high sens…
Optimisation of TES design for the CRESST experiment
G. Angloher, S. Banik, A. Bento +54
The CRESST experiment aims at the direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter particles via elastic scattering off nuclei in different target crystals at cryogenic temperatures. The ad…
ImpCresst -- A versatile simulation tool focusing on solid-state detectors at keV energies
G. Angloher, S. Banik, A. Bento +57
We present ImpCresst, a Geant4-based Monte Carlo tool to simulate backgrounds from natural and cosmogenic radionuclides, and calibration signals in solid-state detectors and their…
The SWEET project: probing sugar crystals for direct dark matter searches
A. Bento, F. Casadei, E. Cipelli +11
Several experiments searching for direct dark matter interactions aim to achieve unprecedented sensitivity to sub-GeV/c dark matter masses through elastic scattering with nucle…
Observation of a low energy nuclear recoil peak in the neutron calibration data of an AlO crystal in CRESST-III
CRESST Collaboration, G. Angloher, S. Banik +59
The current generation of cryogenic solid state detectors used in direct dark matter and CE\textnu NS searches typically reach energy thresholds of (10)eV for nucl…
