Description

With the need to move to 3rd generation cryogenically cooled detectors, work is ongoing at Glasgow to investigate design, bonding and characterisation of silicon suspensions operating at cryogenic temperatures. Here we present an update on these activities, including details of initial cooling experiments conducted on a silicon ribbon suspending a 1kg mass.
