Toward a Detector/Readout Architecture for the Background-Limited Far-IR/Submm Spectrograph (BLISS)
We have built and tested 32-element linear arrays of absorber-coupled transition-edge sensors (TESs) read out with a time-division SQUID multiplexer. This detector/readout architecture is designed for the back...

Ultra-sensitive Transition-Edge Sensors for the Background Limited Infrared/Sub-mm Spectrograph (BLISS)
We report progress in fabricating ultra-sensitive superconducting transition-edge sensors (TESs) for BLISS. BLISS is a suite of grating spectrometers covering 35–433 μm with R∼700 cooled to 50 mK that is proposed...

Effect of non-classical current paths in networks of 1-dimensional wires
At low temperatures, the quantum corrections to the resistance due to weak localization and electron-electron interaction are affected by the shape and topology of samples. We observed these effects in the res...

Radially shielded superconducting magnets for use in cryostats
Three small superconducting magnets with active and passive shields that produce confined magnetic fields in low temperature cryostats have been designed and built. The design of these magnets uses both on and...
