Investigating copper surface treatments for cryogenic quantum sensor testing

Chiara Salemi - Professor, Physics

Status: Current Term Now Closed     Weekly Hours: 9-11 hrs     Location: On Campus

Low-temperature experiments—such as many axion dark matter searches, quantum computing, and condensed matter studies—require an exceptional understanding of the materials used in and around the experiment. Insights into the behavior of materials at such low temperatures are necessary to understand signal backgrounds, ensuring effective thermalization, and minimizing...

Machine learning for axion dark matter data analysis

Chiara Salemi - Professor, Physics

Status: Current Term Now Closed     Weekly Hours: 9-11 hrs     Location: On Campus

Axions are a highly motivated candidate to be the dark matter. The signal profile in a detector depends on the properties of the Milky Way's dark matter halo properties. Certain halo models predict signal shapes that are challenging to differentiate from noise, and recent work has indicated that machine learning...
