Cosmogenic activation in detector materials at shallow depths
Sagar S. Poudel, Lekhraj Pandey, Robert Calkins +6
The radioactive decay from long-lived radioactive isotopes produced by cosmogenic activation can be an important background in direct-detection dark matter and neutrino experiments…
Scintillation of liquid nitrogen
L. Pagani, R. Saldanha, B. M. Loer +3
Liquid nitrogen is commonly used in cryogenic applications and is a promising medium for the direct immersion cooling of sensors used for nuclear and particle physics experiments.…
Removal of spallation-induced tritium from silicon through diffusion
R. Saldanha, D. Reading, P. E. Warwick +5
Tritium, predominantly produced through spallation reactions caused by cosmic ray interactions, is a significant radioactive background for silicon-based rare event detection exper…
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…
Abatement of Ionizing Radiation for Superconducting Quantum Devices
B. Loer, P. M. Harrington, B. Archambault +15
Ionizing radiation has been shown to reduce the performance of superconducting quantum circuits. In this report, we evaluate the expected contributions of different sources of ambi…
Quantum Sensors for High Energy Physics
Aaron Chou, Kent Irwin, Reina H. Maruyama +39
Strong motivation for investing in quantum sensing arises from the need to investigate phenomena that are very weakly coupled to the matter and fields well described by the Standar…
