Smart-readout of the Skipper-CCD: Achieving Sub-electron Noise Levels in Regions of Interest
Fernando Chierchie, Guillermo Fernandez Moroni, Leandro Stefanazzi +7
The skipper CCD is a special type of charge coupled device in which the readout noise can be reduced to sub-electron levels by averaging independent measurements of the same charge…
Second Generation Readout For Large Format Photon Counting Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Neelay Fruitwala, Paschal Strader, Gustavo Cancelo +10
We present the development of a second generation digital readout system for photon counting microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) arrays operating in the optical and near-I…
Measurement of the bulk radioactive contamination of detector-grade silicon with DAMIC at SNOLAB
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, D. Baxter +28
We present measurements of bulk radiocontaminants in the high-resistivity silicon CCDs from the DAMIC at SNOLAB experiment. We utilize the exquisite spatial resolution of CCDs to d…
Results on Low-Mass Weakly Interacting Massive Particles from an 11 kg-day Target Exposure of DAMIC at SNOLAB
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, D. Baxter +29
We present constraints on the existence of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) from an 11 kg-day target exposure of the DAMIC experiment at the SNOLAB underground laborato…
Low Threshold Acquisition controller for Skipper CCDs
Gustavo Cancelo, Claudio Chavez, Fernando Chierchie +10
The development of the Skipper Charge Coupled Devices (Skipper-CCDs) has been a major technological breakthrough for sensing very weak ionizing particles. The sensor allows to reac…
Interplay between phonon downconversion efficiency, density of states at Fermi energy, and intrinsic energy resolution for microwave kinectic inductance detectors
Israel Hernandez, Gustavo Cancelo, Juan Estrada +4
Microwave Kinetic Inductance detectors (MKIDs) have been recognized as a powerful new tool for single photon detection. These highly multiplexed superconducting devices give timing…
