Axion searches with the EDELWEISS-II experiment
E. Armengaud, Q. Arnaud, C. Augier +62
We present new constraints on the couplings of axions and more generic axion-like particles using data from the EDELWEISS-II experiment. The EDELWEISS experiment, located at the Un…
Effect of annealing on the superconducting properties of a-Nb(x)Si(1-x) thin films
O. Crauste, A. Gentils, F. Couëdo +5
a-Nb(x)Si(1-x) thin films with thicknesses down to 25 Å have been structurally characterized by TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) measurements. As-deposited or annealed films…
The silicon micro-strip detector plane for the LOFT/Wide Field Monitor
A. Goldwurm, P. Ferrando, D. Götz +21
The main objective of the Wide Field Monitor (WFM) on the LOFT mission is to provide unambiguous detection of the high-energy sources in a large field of view, in order to support…
Tunable Superconducting Properties of a-NbSi Thin Films and Application to Detection in Astrophysics
O. Crauste, C. A. Marrache-Kikuchi, L. Berge +5
We report on the superconducting properties of amorphous NbxSi1-x thin films. The normal-state resistance and critical temperatures can be separately adjusted to suit the desired a…
Identification of backgrounds in the EDELWEISS-I dark matter search experiment
S. Fiorucci, A. Benoit, L. Berge +36
This paper presents our interpretation and understanding of the different backgrounds in the EDELWEISS-I data sets. We analyze in detail the several populations observed, which inc…
Measurement of the response of heat-and-ionization germanium detectors to nuclear recoils
A. Benoit, L. Berge, J. Blumer +34
The heat quenching factor Q' (the ratio of the heat signals produced by nuclear and electron recoils of equal energy) of the heat-and-ionization germanium bolometers used by the ED…
