A tabletop x-ray tomography instrument for nanometer-scale imaging: demonstration of the 1,000-element transition-edge sensor subarray
Paul Szypryt, Nathan Nakamura, Daniel T. Becker +28
We report on the 1,000-element transition-edge sensor (TES) x-ray spectrometer implementation of the TOMographic Circuit Analysis Tool (TOMCAT). TOMCAT combines a high spatial reso…
Nanoscale Three-Dimensional Imaging of Integrated Circuits using a Scanning Electron Microscope and Transition-Edge Sensor Spectrometer
Nathan Nakamura, Paul Szypryt, Amber L. Dagel +30
X-ray nanotomography is a powerful tool for the characterization of nanoscale materials and structures, but is difficult to implement due to competing requirements on X-ray flux an…
SLAC Microresonator RF (SMuRF) Electronics: A tone-tracking readout system for superconducting microwave resonator arrays
Cyndia Yu, Zeeshan Ahmed, Josef C. Frisch +22
We describe the newest generation of the SLAC Microresonator RF (SMuRF) electronics, a warm digital control and readout system for microwave-frequency resonator-based cryogenic det…
Bandwidth and Aliasing in the Microwave SQUID Multiplexer
Cyndia Yu, Zeeshan Ahmed, Jake A. Connors +13
The microwave SQUID multiplexer (umux) has enabled higher bandwidth or higher channel counts across a wide range of experiments in particle physics, astronomy, and spectroscopy. Th…
Quantification of 242Pu with a Microcalorimeter Gamma Spectrometer
David J. Mercer, Ryan Winkler, Katrina E. Koehler +18
We report measurements of the 103-keV and 159-keV gamma ray signatures of 242Pu using microcalorimetry. This is the first observation of these gamma rays in a non-destructive measu…
Progress in the development of TES microcalorimeter detectors suitable for neutrino mass measurement
A. Giachero, B. Alpert, D. T. Becker +19
The HOLMES experiment will perform a precise calorimetric measurement of the end point of the Electron Capture (EC) decay spectrum of 163Ho in order to extract information on neutr…
Working principle and demonstrator of microwave-multiplexing for the HOLMES experiment microcalorimeters
D. T. Becker, D. A. Bennett, M. Biasotti +21
The determination of the neutrino mass is an open issue in modern particle physics and astrophysics. The direct mass measurement is the only theory-unrelated experimental tool capa…
Status of the HOLMES Experiment to Directly Measure the Neutrino Mass
A. Nucciotti, B. Alpert, M. Balata +35
The assessment of neutrino absolute mass scale is still a crucial challenge in today particle physics and cosmology. Beta or electron capture spectrum end-point study is currently…
Counting Near Infrared Photons with Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors
W. Guo, X. Liu, Y. Wang +8
We demonstrate photon counting at 1550 nm wavelength using microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) made from TiN/Ti/TiN trilayer films with superconducting transition temper…
Development of microwave-multiplexed superconductive detectors for the HOLMES experiment
A. Giachero, D. Becker, D. A. Bennett +15
In recent years, the progress on low temperature detector technologies has allowed design of large scale experiments aiming at pushing down the sensitivity on the neutrino mass bel…
High-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy with a microwave-multiplexed transition-edge sensor array
Omid Noroozian, John A. B. Mates, Douglas A. Bennett +10
We demonstrate very high resolution photon spectroscopy with a microwave-multiplexed two-pixel transition-edge sensor (TES) array. We measured a Gd photon source and achiev…
Code-division multiplexing for x-ray microcalorimeters
G. M. Stiehl, W. B. Doriese, J. W. Fowler +7
We demonstrate the code-division multiplexed (CDM) readout of eight transition-edge sensor microcalorimeters. The energy resolution is 3.0 eV (full width at half-maximum) or better…
