Simulations of Noise in Phase-Separated Transition-Edge Sensors for SuperCDMS

Instrumentation and Detectors 2019-08-14 v1 Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics

Abstract

We briefly review a simple model of superconducting-normal phase-separation in transition-edge sensors in the SuperCDMS experiment. After discussing some design considerations relevant to the TES in the detectors, we study noise sources in both the phase-separated and phase-uniform cases. Such simulations are valuable for optimizing the critical temperature and TES length of future SuperCDMS detectors.
