CP-TKID collaboration
Searches for physics beyond the standard model (BSM physics) are a primary motivator for many nuclear physics experiments. These experiments rely on high precision measurements, and in contrast to the high energy experiments at the large hadron collider (LHC), they can be done at relatively low energies. However this shift to precision means that the experiments are limited by the precision of their technology. Many BSM searches in nuclear physics are limited by their ability to detect low energy particles. The state-of-the-art silicon detectors that are currently used require specific experimental design just to detect the charged particles produced during the neutron beta decay process for example. The goal of our collaboration is to adapt current cryogenic detector technology, thermal kinetic inductance detectors (TKID), for detection of charged particles using a device called a CP-TKID. CP-TKIDs eliminate the need for complicated experimental design once they are properly designed and characterized. My project has been to develop the CP-TKID prototypes in Geant4 to better understand the physics and the detector response seen during characterization. This poster presents this work and its current status.
