Development of ion-beam sputtered silicon nitride thin films for low-noise mirror coatings of gravitational-wave detectors
A. Amato, M. Bazzan, G. Cagnoli +32
Brownian thermal noise of thin-film coatings is a fundamental limit for high-precision experiments based on optical resonators such as gravitational-wave interferometers. Here we p…
Innovative remotely-controlled bending device for thin silicon and germanium crystals
D. De Salvador, S. Carturan, A. Mazzolari +10
Steering of negatively charged particle beams below 1 GeV has demonstrated to be possible with thin bent silicon and germanium crystals. A newly designed mechanical holder was used…
Broad angular anisotropy of multiple scattering in a Si crystal
A. Mazzolari, A. Sytov, L. Bandiera +17
We observed reduction of multiple Coulomb scattering of 855 MeV electrons within a Si crystalline plate w.r.t. an amorphous plate with the same mass thickness. The reduction owed t…
Characterization and modeling of thermally-induced doping contaminants in high-purity Germanium
Virginia Boldrini, Gianluigi Maggioni, Sara Carturan +6
High purity Ge (HPGe) is the key material for gamma ray detector production. Its high purity level (< 2x10^(-4) ppb of doping impurity) has to be preserved in the bulk during the p…
Steering of Sub-GeV electrons by ultrashort Si and Ge bent crystals
A. I. Sytov, L. Bandiera, D. De Salvador +14
We report the observation of the steering of 855 MeV electrons by bent silicon and germanium crystals at the MAinzer MIkrotron. 15 m long crystals, bent along (111) planes, were…
