The absence of a conclusive direct detection of conventional, GeV-scale dark matter has recently increased focus on low-threshold detector technologies capable of sensing light (sub-GeV) and ultralight dark matter candidates. Many such technologies rely on athermal phonon sensing, in which meV-scale phonons from a DM scatter are sensed via their ability to break Cooper pairs in superconducting...
The central component of the sPHENIX tracking system is the "compact" (2 meter length, 80 cm outer radius) Time Projection Chamber (TPC). This TPC operates in the continuous readout mode with a low Ion BackFlow (IBF) in a similar style to that pioneered by the ALICE TPC. In contrast to many prior TPC devices, this TPC emphasizes position and momentum resolution over the measurement of...
The Scintillating Bubble Chamber (SBC) collaboration is developing liquid-noble bubble chambers sensitive to sub-keV nuclear recoils. These detectors combine the excellent electron-recoil insensitivity inherent in bubble chambers with the ability to reconstruct energy based on the scintillation signal for further background suppression. The targeted nuclear recoil threshold of 100 eV is made...
Amorphous selenium (aSe), widely utilized in x-ray medical imaging, has emerged as a promising material for liquid noble detectors in particle physics. This work investigates the temperature and electric field-dependent charge transport properties of a novel aSe-based photo-sensor and its integration into a multimodal charge plus light sensor for use in pixelated liquid argon time projection...
Neuromorphic computing is a popular technology for the future of computing where inspiration from biological brain is used to motivate new hardware, software, and algorithm design. In this talk, I will overview the field of neuromorphic computing and give an introduction to spiking neural networks. I will present several examples of real-world applications of FPGA-based neuromorphic systems...
The search for sub-GeV dark matter requires novel detector development due to the small expected ionization signal and large backgrounds, many of which still need to be well-modeled. For this reason, to unambiguously detect dark matter, a detector must be able to determine the directionality of the incoming particles so that the daily modulation of the rate can be used to confirm a dark matter...
Particle interactions in a superconducting qubit chip generate non-equilibrium quasiparticles that can tunnel across the Josephson junction and can be detected as an error (or treated as a signal) in the qubit. Large energy deposits, such as those from ionizing radiation, can cause such errors (our signals) across multiple qubits on the same chip and are correlated in space and time. We...
