Cryostat for Ultra-Low-Energy Threshold Germanium Spectrometers
Cryostat for Ultra-Low-Energy Threshold Germanium Spectrometers
This paper presents progress on the development of a cryostat intended to improve upon the low-energy threshold (below 0.5 keV) of p-type point contact germanium gamma-ray spectrometers. Ultra-low energy thresholds are important in the detection of low-energy nuclear recoils, an event class relevant to both dark matter direct detection and …
