Characterization of Aluminum Microwave SQUID Multiplexers for CENS Detection
James Amidei, Antoine Armatol, Corinne Augier +92
We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of an aluminum-based six-channel microwave SQUID multiplexer (MUX) prototype for transition-edge sensor (TES) readout i…
Aluminum-Based Superconducting Tunnel Junction Sensors for Nuclear Recoil Spectroscopy
Spencer L. Fretwell, Connor Bray, Inwook Kim +31
The BeEST experiment is searching for sub-MeV sterile neutrinos by measuring nuclear recoil energies from the decay of Be implanted into superconducting tunnel junction (STJ) s…
Integration of Silica in G4CMP for Phonon Simulations: Framework and Tools for Material Integration
Caitlyn Stone-Whitehead, Israel Hernandez, Connor Bray +10
Superconducting detectors with sub-eV energy resolution have demonstrated success setting limits on Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics due to their unique sensitivity to low-e…
Characterization of Radiation-Induced Errors in Superconducting Qubits Protected with Various Gap-Engineering Strategies
H. Douglas Pinckney, Thomas McJunkin, Alan W. Hunt +26
Impacts from high-energy particles cause correlated errors in superconducting qubits by increasing the quasiparticle density in the vicinity of the Josephson junctions (JJs). Such…
Next Generation Ta-STJ Sensor Arrays for BSM Physics Searches
Joseph P. T. Templet, Spencer Fretwell, Andrew Marino +9
The Beryllium Electron capture in Superconducting Tunnel junctions (BeEST) experiment uses superconducting tunnel junction (STJ) sensors to search for physics beyond the standard m…
Cyclotron Radiation Signal Characterization in Resonant Cavities for the Project 8 Neutrino Mass Experiment
A. Ashtari Esfahani, S. Bhagvati, H. P. Binney +60
Many experimental methods in physics require understanding radiation from single particles into non-trivial electromagnetic mode structures. Such characterization is critical for C…
