G4CMP: Condensed matter physics simulation using the GEANT4 toolkit
Astrophysics Data SystemKelsey, et al.
2023-10-01
G4CMP simulates phonon and charge transport in cryogenic semiconductor crystals using the GEANT4 toolkit. The simulation reproduces theoretical predictions and experimental observations such as phonon caustics, heat-pulse propagation times, and mean charge-carrier drift velocities.
First Measurement of the Nuclear-Recoil Ionization Yield in Silicon at 100 eV
Astrophysics Data SystemAlbakry, et al.
2023-09-01
We measured the nuclear-recoil ionization yield in silicon with a cryogenic phonon-sensitive gram-scale detector. Neutrons from a monoenergetic beam scatter off of the silicon nuclei at angles corresponding to energy depositions from 4 keV down to 100 eV, the lowest energy probed so far.
Signature and detection prospects for sub-GeV dark matter with superfluid helium
Astrophysics Data SystemYou, et al.
2023-07-01
We explore the possibility of using superfluid helium for direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter (DM). We discuss the relevant phenomenology resulting from the scattering of an incident dark matter particle on a Helium nucleus.
