Nuclear-recoil energy scale in CDMS II silicon dark-matter detectors
R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, T. Aramaki +106
The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS II) experiment aims to detect dark matter particles that elastically scatter from nuclei in semiconductor detectors. The resulting nuclear-re…
CDMSlite: A Search for Low-Mass WIMPs using Voltage-Assisted Calorimetric Ionization Detection in the SuperCDMS Experiment
R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, M. Asai +77
SuperCDMS is an experiment designed to directly detect Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), a favored candidate for dark matter ubiquitous in the Universe. In this paper,…
Demonstration of Surface Electron Rejection with Interleaved Germanium Detectors for Dark Matter Searches
R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, D. Balakishiyeva +88
The SuperCDMS experiment in the Soudan Underground Laboratory searches for dark matter with a 9-kg array of cryogenic germanium detectors. Symmetric sensors on opposite sides measu…
Modeling phase-separated transition-edge sensors in SuperCDMS detectors
A. J. Anderson, S. W. Leman, T. Doughty +4
The SuperCDMS experiment implements transition-edge sensors to measure athermal phonons produced by nuclear recoils in Ge crystals. We discuss a numerical simulation of these TES d…
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…
