Author(s)
Mark Keller, Abigail Wessels, Dan Becker, Douglas Bennett, Matthew Carpenter, Mark Croce, Jozsef Imrek, Johnathon Gard, John Mates, Kelsey Morgan, Nathan Ortiz, Dan Schmidt, Katherine Schreiber, Daniel Swetz, Joel Ullom
Superconducting transition-edge sensors (TESs) used in x-ray and γ-ray microcalorimeters suffer degraded performance if cooled in a magnetic field B sufficient to trap flux in the sensors. We report measurements of γ-ray TESs before and after implementing

Early Electroscopes at the National Bureau of Standards

May 17, 2024
Author(s)
Bert Coursey, Brian E. Zimmerman, Michael G. Mitch, Paul Frame
This report describes the use of five electroscopes used as national standards for radioactivity for the United States during the early 20th century. This set of instruments were used for the calibration of thousands of radium-226 sources used in medical

Characterization of Transition Edge Sensors for Decay Energy Spectrometry

May 16, 2024
Author(s)
Max Carlson, Ryan P. Fitzgerald, Galen O'Neil, Dan Schmidt
By using a superconducting Transition Edge Sensor (TES) to measure the thermal energy of individual decay events with high energy resolution (goal of 1 keV at 5 MeV), Decay Energy Spectrometry (DES) provides a unique fingerprint to identify each

An Infrastructure for Secure Data Sharing: A Clinical Data Implementation

May 15, 2024
Author(s)
Joanna DeFranco, Joshua Roberts, David Ferraiolo, Daniel Compton
Objective: To address database interoperability challenges to improve collaboration among disparate organizations. Materials and Methods: We developed a lightweight system to allow broad but well-controlled data sharing while preserving local data

In situ observation of the multistep process of cold sintering

May 15, 2024
Author(s)
Russell Maier
A compact cold sintering stage was constructed to densify ceramic samples in capillary tubes for the purpose of conducting in situ experiments designed to elucidate fundamental cold sintering mechanisms. The stage was used to successfully densify samples
