Demonstration of a cryogenic, switchable electron source for low-temperature detector calibration

D. A. Bennett, M. Borghesi, P. Campana +17

We present the realization of a prototype of a compact, switchable electron source operating at cryogenic temperatures, demonstrated at energies ranging from 100 eV to 300 eV, and…

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…

Achieving speedup in Dark Matter search experiments with a transmon-based NISQ algorithm

Roberto Moretti, Pietro Campana, Rodolfo Carobene +9

Coherent detection of ultralight bosonic dark matter can be achieved by monitoring slow Rabi oscillations in superconducting qubits. We introduce an ancilla-assisted, gate-based pr…

Impact of embedded Ho on the performance of the transition-edge sensor microcalorimeters of the HOLMES experiment

Douglas Bennett, Matteo Borghesi, Pietro Campana +19

We present a detailed investigation of the performance of transition-edge sensor (TES) microcalorimeters with Ho atoms embedded by ion implantation, as part of the HOLMES e…

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.…

An array of bulk-acoustic-wave sensors as a high-frequency antenna for gravitational waves

G. Albani, M. Borghesi, L. Canonica +14

In their simplest form, bulk acoustic wave (BAW) devices consist of a piezoelectric crystal between two electrodes that transduce the material's vibrations into electrical signals.…
