In this paper we describe the current status of the CALDER project, which is developing ultra-sensitive light detectors based on superconductors for cryogenic applications. When we apply an AC current to a superconductor, the Cooper pairs oscillate and acquire kinetic inductance, that can be measured by inserting the superconductor in a LC circuit with high merit factor. Interactions in the superconductor can break the Cooper pairs, causing sizable variations in the kinetic inductance and, thus, in the response of the LC circuit. The continuous monitoring of the amplitude and frequency modulation allows to reconstruct the incident energy with excellent sensitivity. This concept is at the basis of Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs), that are characterized by natural aptitude to multiplexed read-out (several sensors can be tuned to different resonant frequencies and coupled to the same line), resolution of few eV, stable behavior over a wide temperature range, and ease in fabrication. We present the results obtained by the CALDER collaboration with 2x2 cm2 substrates sampled by 1 or 4 Aluminum KIDs. We show that the performances of the first prototypes are already competitive with those of other commonly used light detectors, and we discuss the strategies for a further improvement.

High-sensitivity Kinetic Inductance Detectors for CALDER
提供一种背景鉴别工具对于提高下一代寻找无中微子双β衰变实验的灵敏度至关重要。高灵敏度(< 20 eV RMS)低温光探测器的开发允许同时读出光和热信号,并通过粒子识别实现背景抑制。具有优异分辨率的低温广域光探测器(CALDER)的研发已经证明了使用声子介导的动力学电感探测器(KID)方法的这种技术的潜力。在2 $\times$ 2 cm 2硅衬底上具有4个铝KID的第一阵列原型显示出154 $\pm$ 7 eV RMS的基线分辨率。通过改进谐振器的设计和读出,下一个CALDER原型的能量分辨率为82 $\pm$ 4 eV,通过使用单个铝KID对同一衬底进行采样。

Impact of the superconductors properties on the measurement sensitivity of resonant-based axion detectors
轴子,理论上解决强CP问题的假设粒子,目前被认为是冷暗物质组分的强候选者。基于共振的轴子探测器的信号功率,称为haloscopes,与它们的品质因数$Q$成正比。在本文中,使用超导体的性能的Haloscope的影响进行了研究,通过评估可获得的$Q$。特别地,从测量的涡旋运动复电阻率和这些材料的屏蔽长度开始,在感兴趣的频率、磁场和温度范围内计算NbTi、Nb $_3$ Sn、YBa $_2$ Cu $_3$ O $_{7-δ}$和FeSe $_{0.5}$ Te $_{0.5}$的表面电阻$R_s$。从$R_s$的品质因数$Q$的圆柱形晕镜与铜圆锥形基地和cylindrical侧壁,与TM $_{010}$模式下工作,进行评估和使用不同的材料的性能进行比较。YBa $_2$ Cu $_3$ O $_{7-δ}$和FeSe $_{0.5}$ Te $_{0.5}$都显示出相对于整个Cu腔提高几乎一个数量级的测量灵敏度,而NbTi显示出仅适用于较低的频率(<10 GHz)。Nb $_3$ Sn可以在整个感兴趣的光谱中给出中间改进。
