Improved aluminum film transport properties and enhanced TES response in athermal phonon detectors: implications for quasiparticle dynamics

Mahdi Mirzakhani, Keith Hunter, Rupak Mahapatra +1

Our detectors for Dark Matter and Coherent Elastic Neutrino--Nucleus Scattering (CE$\nu$NS) use photolithographically patterned superconducting athermal phonon sensors that are coupl…
