SOW Elmer Sharp

Testing support: Operate laboratory cryogenic testing equipment to screen parts delivered from both the National Institute of Standards NIST and the Goddard Detector Development Lab DDL.

These will include Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices SQUIDs and Transition Edge Sensors TESs. Characterize TES devices using SQUID electronics to determine transition temperatures, thermal conductivity and TES saturation power. Integrate TES detectors into packages and build supporting cryogenic cabling to collect data using the UBC MCE. Integrate microwave coax into cryostat and additional components needed to readout NIST uMUX with room temperature electronics.

Mechanical Design: Solidworks CAD designs will be generated to fabricate the necessary detector housing to test parts and magnetically shield the detectors from fluctuating non‐ induced fields. Mechanical design will include proper shielding for higher temperature radiation.

Designs will be for both TDM and uMUX SQUID readout systems.

Electrical Design: Mask sets will need to be generated for the fanout board to connect the hybridized array to the SQUID readout electronics. PCB designs will need to be completed to connect the Si fanout/SQUID electronics to the room temperature electronics where data collection takes place.
