Towards Low-Energy Electron High-Resolution Spectroscopy with Transition-Edge Sensors
R. Ammendola, A. Apponi, G. Benato +62
We present a study of the energy resolution of transition-edge sensors (TESs) for the detection of electrons in the 100~eV kinetic energy range. The TES is a Ti-Au bilayer with an…
Ultra-high precision high voltage system for PTOLEMY
R. Ammendola, A. Apponi, G. Benato +63
The PTOLEMY project is prototyping a novel electromagnetic filter for high-precision spectroscopy, with the ultimate and ambitious long-term goal of detecting the cosmic neutri…
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. Substant…
Implementation and Optimization of the PTOLEMY Transverse Drift Electromagnetic Filter
A. Apponi, M. G. Betti, M. Borghesi +53
The PTOLEMY transverse drift filter is a new concept to enable precision analysis of the energy spectrum of electrons near the tritium beta-decay endpoint. This paper details the i…
PTOLEMY: A Proposal for Thermal Relic Detection of Massive Neutrinos and Directional Detection of MeV Dark Matter
E. Baracchini, M. G. Betti, M. Biasotti +48
We propose to achieve the proof-of-principle of the PTOLEMY project to directly detect the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB). Each of the technological challenges described in [1,2]…
