Design of a mission to measure the shape and substructure of the 511 keV gamma-ray line from the center of the Milky Way
Kun Hu, Matthew Fritts, Daniel Becker +23
The 511 keV electron-positron annihilation feature near the galactic center has been detected for more than half a century, yet its origin remains a mystery. In this paper, we desc…
ASCENT - A balloon-borne hard X-ray imaging spectroscopy telescope using transition edge sensor microcalorimeter detectors
Fabian Kislat, Daniel Becker, Douglas Bennett +26
Core collapse supernovae are thought to be one of the main sources in the galaxy of elements heavier than iron. Understanding the origin of the elements is thus tightly linked to o…
The 511-CAM Mission: A Pointed 511 keV Gamma-Ray Telescope with a Focal Plane Detector Made of Stacked Transition Edge Sensor Microcalorimeter Arrays
Farzane Shirazi, Md. Arman Hossen, Daniel Becker +18
The 511 keV gamma-ray emission from the galactic center region may fully or partially originate from the annihilation of positrons from dark matter particles with electrons from th…
A Microwave SQUID Multiplexer Optimized for Bolometric Applications
B. Dober, Z. Ahmed, K. Arnold +27
A microwave SQUID multiplexer (MUX) has been optimized for coupling to large arrays of superconducting transition-edge sensor (TES) bolometers. We present the scalable cryogenic…
Microwave SQUID Multiplexer demonstration for Cosmic Microwave Background Imagers
B. Dober, D. T. Becker, D. A. Bennett +10
Key performance characteristics are demonstrated for the microwave SQUID multiplexer (MUX) coupled to transition edge sensor (TES) bolometers that have been optimized for cosmic…
