Light detector Solid State Detectors Thermometer Thermometer Charge collector Scintillator Semiconductor Measurement methods (Charge, Light, Temperature) “Low temperature favorable”
Basic idea: Calorimetric detection X-ray, e-, WIMP, etc. Thermometer Absorber Thermal link Heat sink < 100 mK Choice of thermometers TES, MMC, Thermistor, STJ, KID etc.
High resolution Low threshold Why Low Temperature Detectors? • Advantages of using cryogenic calorimeters • Extreme sensitivity of energy resolution (ΔE/E < 1/1000) • Ultra low energy threshold ( < 1 eV) • Active for Charge, Light, Phonon chains 240g sapphire (CRESST-I) 580 eV at 10 mK, 99% efficiency Counting 1.5μm(0.8 eV) photons(NIST)
What to measure? • WIMP: CDMS, CRESST, EDELWEISS, etc. • Nutrinoless double beta decay: COURICINO(COURE) • Direct measument of neutrino mass: MARE • Absolute measurement of radioactivity • X-ray astronomy: Constellation-X, XEUS • Energy Depressive x-ray spectroscopy • γ-ray spectrometer • Single photon counting: IR, visible, UV, etc. • Bio-molecules: time-of-flight mass spectrometry
Thermistors • Neutron transmuted doped Ge thermistors • Ion implantation doped Si thermistors • Near metal-insulator transition • R(T) : 1 M ~100 M • Operated with conventional electronics • Slow due to poor coupling between conduction electrons and lattice of the thermistor • E dependent resistance • Radioactive contamination (68Ge, 3H)
I ΔI t Transition Edge Sensor (TES) (초전도상전이센서) • Superconducting strip at Tc • (W, Ir/Au, Mo/Au, Mo/Cu,Al/Ag, etc.) • RN : 10 m ~1 • Proximity effect : Tunable Tc (20~200mK) • Voltage Bias negative feedback working point TES
