High Resolution Alpha Particle Spectroscopy with Cryogenic Microcalorimeters

We present measurements from a novel cryogenic microcalorimeter designed to detect alpha particles. We demonstrate a spectral resolution of 4.4 keV FWHM for 5.3 MeV alpha particles from a 210 Po source. In addition, we present an alpha spectrum from a mixture of Pu isotopes demonstrating the feasibi...

description We present measurements from a novel cryogenic microcalorimeter designed to detect alpha particles. We demonstrate a spectral resolution of 4.4 keV FWHM for 5.3 MeV alpha particles from a 210 Po source. In addition, we present an alpha spectrum from a mixture of Pu isotopes demonstrating the feasibility of resolving the individual contributions of 239 Pu and 240 Pu. The unmatched resolution of microcalorimeter alpha detectors will provide new capabilities for actinide analysis. We discuss potential applications and also sensor design.
