Why Low Temperature Detector(LTD)? Most detectors measure the charged secondaries produced by particle interaction in the detector. But the dominant effect of the interaction is the phonon excitation. For Si, W(E needed for producing one electron-hole pair) = 3.6eV E g (energy gap) = 1.2eV 70 % of W goes into the phonon. This phonon energy is detectable through the cryogenic detector.

Why Low Temperature Detector(LTD)? At sub-Kelvin Temperature, the heat capacity of the lattice vibration and the thermal fluctuation are very small. We can measure the lattice vibration induced by the particle interaction at the sub-kelvin temperature. cryostat Temperature sensor substrate The change of the resistance (NTD Ge, Superconducting TES) The excess quasiparticle (Superconducting tunnel junction)

Why Low Temperature Detector(LTD)? High resolution! Low threshold! energy resolution 2.37 eV (Sep. 2004) 55 Mn K  -line

Why Low Temperature Detector(LTD)? By hybrid detection, ionization + phonon or scintillation + phonon, We can reject the charged background. Calcium tungstate, Scintillation + phonon 99.7% discrimination From CRESST LTD is very useful tool to observe the phenomena which requires low energy threshold & high energy resolution. -> Coherent neutrino scattering Dark matter search Double Beta Decay

The components of the Detector Absorber – Diamond Diamond is distinguished by its high Debye temperature, so, low heat capacity at the low temperature. Besides it can be used as the ionization detector. Atomic Weight12.01 Density3.51 g/cm 3 Debye temperature2340 K Energy gap5.4 eV

The components of the Detector In the diamond-structure crystal, there’s the phonon focusing. (100) (111) The ballistic phonon imaging of Diamond D. C. Hurley et al J. Phys. C 17 (1984)

The components of the Detector We expect the transition will be at around 0.1K. At 0.1K, C diamond + C bilayer = 3.06x10 7 eV/K If 1keV deposited, after thermalization, 3.2x K increased. Because of the athermal phonon, the temperature change in the Bilayer will be higher.
