Acoustic detection of single particles for neutrino experiments and dark matter searches. Neuhauser, B., Cabrera, B., Martoff, C., & Young, B.

We are developing an entirely new type of particle detector, called a silicon crystal acoustic detector (SiCAD), which senses ballistic phonons generated when an incident particle collides with a nucleus or electron in a cube of crystalline silicon. For events which deposit energy greater than about 1 keV, a 1 kg SiCAD would have spatial resolution better than 1 mm3and energy resolution better than 100 eV. We describe our laboratory research utilizing carbon thermistors, superconducting transition edge devices, and superconducting tunnel junctions as phonon sensors on the crystal faces.
