Simulations of Noise in Phase-Separated Transition-Edge Sensors for SuperCDMS
A. J. Anderson, S. W. Leman, M. Pyle +5
We briefly review a simple model of superconducting-normal phase-separation in transition-edge sensors in the SuperCDMS experiment. After discussing some design considerations rele…
Monte Carlo Comparisons to a Cryogenic Dark Matter Search Detector with low Transition-Edge-Sensor Transition Temperature
S. W. Leman, K. A. McCarthy, P. L. Brink +13
We present results on phonon quasidiffusion and Transition Edge Sensor (TES) studies in a large, 3 inch diameter, 1 inch thick [100] high purity germanium crystal, cooled to 50 mK…
Validation of Phonon Physics in the CDMS Detector Monte Carlo
K. A. McCarthy, S. W. Leman, A. J. Anderson +19
The SuperCDMS collaboration is a dark matter search effort aimed at detecting the scattering of WIMP dark matter from nuclei in cryogenic germanium targets. The CDMS Detector Monte…
Review Article: Physics and Monte Carlo Techniques as Relevant to Cryogenic, Phonon and Ionization Readout of CDMS Radiation-Detectors
S. W. Leman
This review discusses detector physics and Monte Carlo techniques for cryogenic, radiation detectors that utilize combined phonon and ionization readout. A general review of cryoge…
Comparison of CDMS [100] and [111] oriented germanium detectors
S. W. Leman, S. A. Hertel, P. Kim +7
The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) utilizes large mass, 3" diameter 1" thick target masses as particle detectors. The target is instrumented with both phonon and ioni…
Time Evolution of Electric Fields in CDMS Detectors
S. W. Leman, D. Brandt, P. L. Brink +19
The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) utilizes large mass, 3" diameter x 1" thick target masses as particle detectors. The target is instrumented with both phonon and ionization…
Phonon Quasidiffusion in Cryogenic Dark Matter Search Large Germanium Detectors
S. W. Leman, B. Cabrera, K. A. McCarthy +11
We present results on quasidiffusion studies in large, 3 inch diameter, 1 inch thick [100] high purity germanium crystals, cooled to 50 mK in the vacuum of a dilution refrigerator,…
Combined Limits on WIMPs from the CDMS and EDELWEISS Experiments
CDMS, EDELWEISS Collaborations, : +114
The CDMS and EDELWEISS collaborations have combined the results of their direct searches for dark matter using cryogenic germanium detectors. The total data set represents 614 kg.d…
