Dark matter searches with a 13 meV threshold superconducting sensor array
Christopher Albert, Lanqing Yuan, Jacob Harris +13
Many well-motivated dark matter models predict meV-scale energy deposits in interactions with terrestrial experiments, but this regime is challenging to probe due to a lack of matu…
Towards LLM-Powered Automation of a Dark Matter Constraint Repository
Lanqing Yuan, Karthik Ramanathan
Dark matter constraint repositories are critical community infrastructure, giving experimentalists and theorists a shared landscape of existing bounds. Yet the most widely-used rep…
Significant noise improvement in a Kinetic Inductance Phonon-Mediated detector by use of a wideband parametric amplifier
Karthik Ramanathan, Osmond Wen, Taylor Aralis +9
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) have been demonstrated as capable phonon sensors when coupled to crystalline substrates, and have been proposed as detectors for next…
Quantum Parity Detectors: a qubit based particle detection scheme with meV thresholds for rare-event searches
Karthik Ramanathan, Brandon J. Sandoval, John E. Parker +5
The next generation of rare-event searches, such as those aimed at determining the nature of particle dark matter or in measuring fundamental neutrino properties, will benefit from…
Development Status of the KIPM Detector Consortium
Dylan J Temples, Zoë J. Smith, Selby Q Dang +21
A Kinetic Inductance Phonon-Mediated Detector is a calorimeter that uses kinetic inductance detectors to read out phonon signals from the device substrate. We have established a co…
Assessing the operating characteristics of an ion-milled phonon-mediated quantum parity detector
Brandon J. Sandoval, Andrew D. Beyer, Pierre M. Echternach +4
Phonon sensitive superconducting qubits promise to provide sub-eV energy deposit thresholds, useful for future rare-event experiments looking for interactions from dark matter and…
