Growth of alpha-beta phase W thin films over steep Al topography in a confocal sputtering machine
John Mark Kreikebaum, Blas Cabrera, Jeff Yen +4
We report on thin-film processing improvements in the fabrication of superconducting quasiparticle-trap-assisted electrothermal-feedback transition-edge sensors (QETs) used in the…
Maximum Likelihood Analysis of Low Energy CDMS II Germanium Data
SuperCDMS Collaboration, R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson +84
We report on the results of a search for a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) signal in low-energy data of the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS~II) experiment using a max…
First direct limits on Lightly Ionizing Particles with electric charge less than
R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, D. Balakishiyeva +82
While the Standard Model of particle physics does not include free particles with fractional charge, experimental searches have not ruled out their existence. We report results fro…
Measurement Of Quasiparticle Transport In Aluminum Films Using Tungsten Transition-Edge Sensors
J. J. Yen, B. Shank, B. A. Young +8
We report new experimental studies to understand the physics of phonon sensors which utilize quasiparticle diffusion in thin aluminum films into tungsten transition-edge-sensors (T…
Nonlinear Optimal Filter Technique For Analyzing Energy Depositions In TES Sensors Driven Into Saturation
B. Shank, J. J. Yen, B. Cabrera +7
We present a detailed thermal and electrical model of superconducting transition edge sensors (TESs) connected to quasiparticle (qp) traps, such as the W TESs connected to Al qp tr…
Search for Low-Mass WIMPs with SuperCDMS
R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, M. Asai +92
We report a first search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) using the background rejection capabilities of SuperCDMS. An exposure of 577 kg-days was analyzed for WIMP…
