High-Precision Excited-State Nuclear Recoil Spectroscopy with Superconducting Sensors
C. Bray, S. Fretwell, L. A. Zepeda-Ruiz +30
Superconducting sensors doped with rare isotopes have recently demonstrated powerful sensing performance for sub-keV radiation from nuclear decay. Here, we report the first high-re…
