First measurement of the nuclear-recoil ionization yield in silicon at 100 eV
M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib, D. Alonso +137
We measured the nuclear--recoil ionization yield in silicon with a cryogenic phonon-sensitive gram-scale detector. Neutrons from a mono-energetic beam scatter off of the silicon nu…
Ionization yield measurement in a germanium CDMSlite detector using photo-neutron sources
SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib +126
Two photo-neutron sources, YBe and SbBe, have been used to investigate the ionization yield of nuclear recoils in the CDMSlite germanium detectors by the…
Evaluation and mitigation of trace Pb contamination on copper surfaces
Raymond Bunker, Tsuguo Aramaki, Isaac Arnquist +5
Clean materials are required to construct and operate many low-background physics experiments. High-purity copper has found broad use because of its physical properties and availab…
Characterizing TES Power Noise for Future Single Optical-Phonon and Infrared-Photon Detectors
C. W. Fink, S. L. Watkins, T. Aramaki +14
In this letter, we present the performance of a tungsten (W) Transition-Edge Sensor (TES) with a critical temperature…
GAPS, low-energy antimatter for indirect dark-matter search
E. Vannuccini, T. Aramaki, R. Bird +37
The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is designed to carry out indirect dark matter search by measuring low-energy cosmic-ray antiparticles. Below a few GeVs the flux of ant…
An Indirect Dark Matter Search Using Cosmic-Ray Antiparticles with GAPS
Alexander Lowell, Tsuguo Aramaki, Ralph Bird +30
Experiments aiming to directly detect dark matter (DM) particles have yet to make robust detections, thus underscoring the need for complementary approaches such as searches for ne…
