Kavli Affiliate: Marshall Bautz | First 5 Authors: Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Sven Herrmann, Barry Burke, Kevan Donlon, Gregory Prigozhin | Summary: We present an evaluation of a novel on-chip charge detector, called the Single electron Sensitive Read Out (SiSeRO), for charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor applications. It uses a p-MOSFET transistor at the output stage with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Angela V. Olinto | First 5 Authors: Claire Guépin, Roberto Aloisio, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Austin Cummings, John F. Krizmanic | Summary: The evidence for dark matter particles, $chi$, is compelling based on Galactic to cosmological scale observations. Thus far, the promising weakly interacting massive particle scenario have eluded detection, motivating alternative models of […]
