First measurement of GaAs as a scintillating calorimeter: achievements and prospects

A. Melchiorre, D. L. Helis, A. Puiu +23

In this paper we present the first measurement of a Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) crystal as a scintillating calorimeter with dual heat and light readout within the DAREDEVIL project. Th…

Phenomenological Modeling of the Ho Calorimetric Electron Capture Spectrum from the HOLMES Experiment

F. Ahrens, B. K. Alpert, D. T. Becker +46

We present a comprehensive phenomenological analysis of the calorimetric electron capture (EC) decay spectrum of Ho as measured by the HOLMES experiment. Using high-statist…

A Demonstration of Slowed Electron Drift for PTOLEMY

M. Farino, A. Tan, A. Apponi +58

To resolve the effective neutrino mass with an energy resolution of 50~meV, the PTOLEMY experiment has proposed a novel transverse electromagnetic filtering process. Substant…

Detection of Low-Energy Electrons with Transition-Edge Sensors

Carlo Pepe, Benedetta Corcione, Francesco Pandolfi +9

We present the first detection of electrons with kinetic energy in the 100 eV range with transition-edge sensors (TESs). This has been achieved with a m Ti…

Dark counts in optical superconducting transition-edge sensors for rare-event searches

Laura Manenti, Carlo Pepe, Isaac Sarnoff +12

Superconducting transition-edge sensors (TESs) are a type of quantum sensor known for its high single-photon detection efficiency and low background. This makes them ideal for part…
