Phenomenological Modeling of the Ho Calorimetric Electron Capture Spectrum from the HOLMES Experiment
F. Ahrens, B. K. Alpert, D. T. Becker +46
We present a comprehensive phenomenological analysis of the calorimetric electron capture (EC) decay spectrum of Ho as measured by the HOLMES experiment. Using high-statist…
Most stringent bound on electron neutrino mass obtained with a scalable low temperature microcalorimeter array
B. K. Alpert, M. Balata, D. T. Becker +36
The determination of the absolute neutrino mass scale remains a fundamental open question in particle physics, with profound implications for both the Standard Model and cosmology.…
The X-ray Integral Field Unit at the end of the Athena reformulation phase
Philippe Peille, Didier Barret, Edoardo Cucchetti +279
The Athena mission entered a redefinition phase in July 2022, driven by the imperative to reduce the mission cost at completion for the European Space Agency below an acceptable ta…
The TES-based Cryogenic AntiCoincidence Detector of ATHENA X-IFU: Validation of the thermal end-to-end simulator towards the updated Demonstration Model (DM 1.1)
Matteo D'Andrea, Claudio Macculi, Simone Lotti +13
The Cryogenic AntiCoincidence Detector (CryoAC) is a key element of the X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) on board the future ATHENA X-ray observatory. It is a TES-based detector d…
