Low Energy Spread Attosecond Bunching and Coherent Electron Acceleration in Dielectric Nanostructures

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Byer | Summary:We demonstrate a compact technique to compress electron pulses to attosecond length, while keeping the energy spread reasonably small. The technique is based on Dielectric Laser Acceleration (DLA) in nanophotonic silicon structures. Unlike previous ballistic optical microbunching demonstrations, we use a modulator-demodulator scheme to compress phase space in the time […]

Light Dark Matter Search with a High-Resolution Athermal Phonon Detector Operated Above Ground

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Brink | Summary:We present limits on spin-independent dark matter-nucleon interactions using a $10.6$ $mathrmg$ Si athermal phonon detector with a baseline energy resolution of $σ_E=3.86 pm 0.04$ $(mathrmstat.)^+0.19_-0.00$ $(mathrmsyst.)$ $mathrmeV$. This exclusion analysis sets the most stringent dark matter-nucleon scattering cross-section limits achieved by a cryogenic detector for dark matter particle masses […]
