Kinetic inductance current sensor for visible to near-infrared wavelength transition-edge sensor readout
Paul Szypryt, Douglas A. Bennett, Ian Fogarty Florang +12
Single-photon detectors based on the superconducting transition-edge sensor are used in a number of visible to near-infrared applications, particularly for photon-number-resolving…
Spectroscopic measurements and models of energy deposition in the substrate of quantum circuits by natural ionizing radiation
Joseph W. Fowler, Paul Szypryt, Raymond Bunker +16
Naturally occurring background radiation is a source of correlated decoherence events in superconducting qubits that will challenge error-correction schemes. To characterize the ra…
New Experimentally Observable Gamma-ray Emissions from 241Am Nuclear Decay
Katrina E. Koehler, Michael D. Yoho, Matthew H. Carpenter +16
With the high resolution of microcalorimeter detectors, previously unresolvable gamma-ray lines are now clearly resolvable. A careful measurement of Am-241 decay with a large array…
Few-electron highly charged muonic Ar atoms verified by electronic x rays
T. Okumura, T. Azuma, D. A. Bennett +40
Electronic x rays emitted by muonic Ar atoms in the gas phase were observed using a superconducting transition-edge-sensor microcalorimeter. The high-precision energy spectra p…
The BLAST Observatory: A Sensitivity Study for Far-IR Balloon-borne Polarimeters
The BLAST Observatory Collaboration, Gabriele Coppi, Simon Dicker +21
Sensitive wide-field observations of polarized thermal emission from interstellar dust grains will allow astronomers to address key outstanding questions about the life cycle of ma…
