Significant noise improvement in a Kinetic Inductance Phonon-Mediated detector by use of a wideband parametric amplifier

Karthik Ramanathan, Osmond Wen, Taylor Aralis +9

Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) have been demonstrated as capable phonon sensors when coupled to crystalline substrates, and have been proposed as detectors for next…

Development Status of the KIPM Detector Consortium

Dylan J Temples, Zoë J. Smith, Selby Q Dang +21

A Kinetic Inductance Phonon-Mediated Detector is a calorimeter that uses kinetic inductance detectors to read out phonon signals from the device substrate. We have established a co…

Search for low-mass electron-recoil dark matter using a single-charge sensitive SuperCDMS-HVeV Detector

SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib +146

We present constraints on low-mass dark matter electron scattering and absorption interactions using a SuperCDMS high-voltage eV-resolution (HVeV) detector. Data were taken undergr…

Maximizing Quantum Enhancement in Axion Dark Matter Experiments

Chao-Lin Kuo, Chelsea L. Bartram, Aaron S. Chou +8

We provide a comprehensive comparison of linear amplifiers and microwave photon-counters in axion dark matter experiments. The study is done assuming a range of realistic operating…
