摘要
The development of sensitive cryogenic light detectors is of primary interest for bolometric experiments searching for rare events like dark matter interactions or neutrino-less double beta decay. Thanks to their good energy resolution and the natural multiplexed read-out, Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) are particularly suitable for this purpose. To efficiently couple KIDs-based light detectors to the large crystals used by the most advanced bolometric detectors, active surfaces of several cm(2) are needed. For this reason, we are developing phonon-mediated detectors. In this paper, we present the results obtained with a prototype consisting of four 40 nm thick aluminum resonators patterned on a 2 x 2 cm(2) silicon chip, and calibrated with optical pulses and X-rays. The detector features a noise resolution sigma(E) = 154 +/- 7 eV and an (18 +/- 2)% efficiency. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.
