    1. 101. Vibrational Noise in a Dry Dilution Refrigerator for Sensitive Experiments
      Jackson Fisher (Colorado School of Mines)
      22/10/2026, 16:30
      RDC 7 Low-Background Detectors
      Presentation

      Low-noise cryogenic environments are crucial for operating sensitive quantum devices and detectors. The Colorado Underground Research Institute (CURIE) is an underground laboratory under ~200 m of rock that is being built to provide these low-noise environments. A dry dilution refrigerator (DR) is one technology that would be included in this lab, which offers ease of operation and reduced...

    2. 121. Environmental Dependence of Qubit Observables Under Controlled Tuning
      Daniel Molenaar (Illinois Institute of Technology)
      22/10/2026, 16:50
      RDC 8 Quantum & Superconducting Sensors
      Presentation

      In recent years, superconducting qubits have advanced significantly in both computing and sensing applications for HEP. This progress has brought increasingly intricate hardware configurations which strongly influence device performance. Qubit coherence, environmental backgrounds, and overall control fidelity together limit the capability of qubit-based sensors, improving these areas enables...

    3. 51. Low-energy superconducting structure in stressed thin films and implications for quantum sensors
      Prof. Caleb Fink (Syracuse University)
      22/10/2026, 17:10
      RDC 7 Low-Background Detectors
      Presentation

      Superconducting thin films are central to many quantum sensors being developed for low-threshold particle detection, where device performance and backgrounds can be strongly influenced by quasiparticle dynamics and other low-energy excitations. Understanding how material properties control these excitations is therefore increasingly important as detectors approach the quantum limit. We present...

    4. 16. Cryogenic Detector R&D for Future Rare Event Searches
      Michael Williams (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)
      22/10/2026, 17:30
      RDC 8 Quantum & Superconducting Sensors
      Presentation

      Low threshold cryogenic detectors have achieved unprecedented sensitivity through advances in superconducting materials, device architecture, and experimental techniques. Leading experiments such as TESSERACT aim to use athermal phonon sensitive devices to place new constraints on low-mass dark matter with a variety of targets. However, all cryogenic detectors observe a sharp rise in...

    5. 76. Nonequilibrium Materials Dynamics: A Common Challenge for Rare-Event Detectors and Quantum Devices
      Dr Sergey Pereverzev (LLNL)
      22/10/2026, 17:50
      RDC 7 Low-Background Detectors
      Presentation

      Increasing sensitivity of low-threshold detectors is revealing long-lived, history-dependent processes in cryogenic materials. Recent measurements increasingly identify preparation and material-state variables behind these effects: low-energy event rates can depend strongly on cooldown history and relax as power laws over long times; athermal phonon-burst populations can originate in detector...
