Dark counts in optical superconducting transition-edge sensors for rare-event searches
Laura Manenti, Carlo Pepe, Isaac Sarnoff +12
Superconducting transition-edge sensors (TESs) are a type of quantum sensor known for its high single-photon detection efficiency and low background. This makes them ideal for part…
A Demonstration of Slowed Electron Drift for PTOLEMY
M. Farino, A. Tan, A. Apponi +58
To resolve the effective neutrino mass with an energy resolution of 50~meV, the PTOLEMY experiment has proposed a novel transverse electromagnetic filtering process. Substan…
First measurement of GaAs as a scintillating calorimeter: achievements and prospects
A. Melchiorre, D. L. Helis, A. Puiu +23
In this paper we present the first measurement of a Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) crystal as a scintillating calorimeter with dual heat and light readout within the DAREDEVIL project. Th…
Detection of Low-Energy Electrons with Transition-Edge Sensors
Carlo Pepe, Benedetta Corcione, Francesco Pandolfi +9
We present the first detection of electrons with kinetic energy in the 100 eV range with transition-edge sensors (TESs). This has been achieved with a m T…
