A HEMT-Based Cryogenic Charge Amplifier with sub-100 eVee Ionization Resolution for Massive Semiconductor Dark Matter Detectors (1611.09712v4)
Published 29 Nov 2016 in physics.ins-det and astro-ph.IM
Abstract: We present the measured baseline ionization resolution of a HEMT-based cryogenic charge amplifier coupled to a CDMS-II detector. The amplifier has been developed to allow massive semiconductor dark matter detectors to retain background discrimination at the low recoil energies produced by low-mass WIMPs. We find a calibrated baseline ionization resolution of $\sigma_E = 91\,\text{eV}_{ee}$. To our knowledge, this is the best direct ionization resolution achieved with such massive ($\approx$150 pF capacitance) radiation detectors.
