Description

CUTE is a test facility currently testing high voltage detectors for SuperCDMS in hopes that they will one day detect dark matter. These detectors need to be calibrated to get an understanding of the response we get during a run. CUTE currently has a system installed that is used for gamma calibration. This talk will outline the progress made during the winter and spring term for the development and installation of a neutron calibration system at CUTE that will improve our understanding of the detectors nuclear recoil response.
