Single-electron detection in a high-purity Ge device
Antoine Armatol, Corinne Augier, Laurent Bergé +69
High-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors are among the most powerful instruments for gamma ray spectroscopy, combining exceptional energy resolution with large active volumes. Althou…
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…
Low Energy Phonon Bursts Created By Fast Neutron Damage
A. Armatol, C. Augier, L. Bergé +67
Solid state athermal phonon calorimeters used in the search for low mass dark matter or coherent neutrino-nucleus interactions have long observed a large excess of events below sev…
Spontaneous generation of athermal phonon bursts within bulk silicon causing excess noise, low energy background events and quasiparticle poisoning in superconducting sensors
C. L. Chang, Y. -Y. Chang, M. Garcia-Sciveres +25
Solid state phonon detectors used in the search for dark matter and coherent neutrino nucleus interactions (CENS) require excellent energy resolution (eV-scale or below) and low…
First Limits on Light Dark Matter Interactions in a Low Threshold Two Channel Athermal Phonon Detector from the TESSERACT Collaboration
C. L. Chang, Y. -Y. Chang, L. Chaplinsky +45
We present results of a search for spin-independent dark matter-nucleon interactions in a 1 cm by 1 mm thick (0.233 gram) high-resolution silicon athermal phonon detector opera…
Design Studies Of A Pulsed Quasimonoenergetic 2-keV Neutron Source For Calibration Of Low Threshold Dark Matter Detectors
L. Chaplinsky, S. Fiorucci, C. W. Fink +25
We describe design studies for a pulsed quasi-monoenergetic 2-keV neutron source for calibration of sub-keV nuclear recoils. Such a calibration is required for detectors sensitive…
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…
First Demonstration of the HeRALD Superfluid Helium Detector Concept
R. Anthony-Petersen, A. Biekert, C. L. Chang +33
The SPICE/HeRALD collaboration is performing R&D to enable studies of sub-GeV dark matter models using a variety of target materials. Here we report our recent progress on instrume…
