Measuring the electron neutrino mass with improved sensitivity: the HOLMES experiment
A. Giachero, B. Alpert, D. Becker +39
HOLMES is a new experiment aiming at directly measuring the neutrino mass with a sensitivity below 2 eV. HOLMES will perform a calorimetric measurement of the energy released in th…
When "Optimal Filtering" Isn't
J. W. Fowler, B. K. Alpert, W. B. Doriese +8
The so-called "optimal filter" analysis of a microcalorimeter's x-ray pulses is statistically optimal only if all pulses have the same shape, regardless of energy. The shapes of pu…
First application of superconducting transition-edge-sensor microcalorimeters to hadronic-atom x-ray spectroscopy
S. Okada, D. A. Bennett, C. Curceanu +35
High-resolution pionic-atom x-ray spectroscopy was performed with an x-ray spectrometer based on a 240-pixel array of superconducting transition-edge-sensor (TES) microcalorimeters…
Mechanical design and development of TES bolometer detector arrays for the Advanced ACTPol experiment
Jonathan T. Ward, Jason Austermann, James A. Beall +27
The next generation Advanced ACTPol (AdvACT) experiment is currently underway and will consist of four Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolometer arrays, with three operating together,…
Design of 280 GHz feedhorn-coupled TES arrays for the balloon-borne polarimeter SPIDER
Johannes Hubmayr, Jason E. Austermann, James A. Beall +40
We describe 280 GHz bolometric detector arrays that instrument the balloon-borne polarimeter SPIDER. A primary science goal of SPIDER is to measure the large-scale B-mode polarizat…
Development of microwave-multiplexed superconductive detectors for the HOLMES experiment
A. Giachero, D. Becker, D. A. Bennett +15
In recent years, the progress on low temperature detector technologies has allowed design of large scale experiments aiming at pushing down the sensitivity on the neutrino mass bel…
