This is a $685,234.16 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) on March 1, 2018. The grant is focused on developing and optimizing a new type of superconducting X-ray detector known as a Thermal Kinetic Inductance Detector (TKID). The objective is to improve the energy resolution of these detectors to below 5 eV at 6 keV and integrate them into a 1,000 pixel array. The research also aims to...
This is a $838,643 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center (SSC), a civilian U.S. government agency, to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop a new type of detector called the Thermal Kinetic Inductance Detector (TKID) for astrophysics applications. The TKID is an advanced version of a Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) that improves on key characteristics like energy resolution, pulse decay time, and material requirements. The grant supports efforts to...
This is a $975,958 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to support research and development of direct-absorption (microwave) kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs or KIDs) using aluminum as the superconducting material. The purpose is to address detector array technology needs for future NASA astrophysics missions, including the Origins Space Telescope (OST) and the Galaxy Evolution Probe (GEP). This work aims...
