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…
Large-scale detector testing for the GAPS Si(Li) Tracker
Mengjiao Xiao, Achim Stoessl, Brandon Roach +17
Lithium-drifted silicon [Si(Li)] has been used for decades as an ionizing radiation detector in nuclear, particle, and astrophysical experiments, though such detectors have frequen…
A Stress Induced Source of Phonon Bursts and Quasiparticle Poisoning
Robin Anthony-Petersen, Andreas Biekert, Raymond Bunker +43
The performance of superconducting qubits is degraded by a poorly characterized set of energy sources breaking the Cooper pairs responsible for superconductivity, creating a condit…
LOOC UP: Locating and observing optical counterparts to gravitational wave bursts
Jonah Kanner, Tracy L. Huard, Szabolcs Marka +4
Gravitational wave (GW) bursts (short duration signals) are expected to be associated with highly energetic astrophysical processes. With such high energies present, it is likely t…
Spectroscopy of GRB 051111 at z=1.54948: Kinematics and Elemental Abundances of the GRB Environment and Host Galaxy
B. E. Penprase, E. Berger, D. B. Fox +8
We present a high-resolution, high signal-to-noise optical spectrum of the afterglow of GRB 051111 obtained with the HIRES spectrograph on the Keck I 10-m telescope. The spectrum e…
Fine-Structure FeII and SiII Absorption in the Spectrum of GRB 051111: Implications for the Burst Environment
E. Berger, B. E. Penprase, D. B. Fox +4
We present an analysis of fine-structure transitions of FeII and SiII detected in a high-resolution optical spectrum of the afterglow of GRB 051111 (z=1.54948). The fine-structure…
