Description

I will present progress on the design of the HOdoscopic Neutrino EnergY CryOgenic Multiplexed Bolometer (HONEYCOMB), a detector concept for instrumenting a highly segmented low-threshold detector for dark matter and neutrino physics. The detector aims to achieve eV-scale energy thresholds, few kg mass, and attain background rejection through its highly segmented design. This geometry can be used for a variety of sensors, including TESs, MKIDs, and qubit-based sensors. I will present results from recent modeling of in GEANT4 and G4CMP of a HONEYCOMB detector, and discuss future directions for this design.
