Description

The HeRALD experiment is a dark matter direct detection experiment using superfluid He-4 as the target material. The advantages of helium as a dark matter target include its good kinematic matching with sub-GeV light dark matter, as well as the energy gain mechanism through quantum evaporation. Following the first demonstration of this novel dark matter detection technique at the UMass HeRALD setup, we aim to study the multi-channel coincidence calorimetric readout with Transition Edge Sensors at the Berkeley setup. In this talk, I will present recent progress at the Berkeley HeRALD setup.
