Cryogenic detectors and their applications in astrophysics and astro-particles
Description
Cryogenic detectors operating below the Kelvin degree have enabled the development of original and very sensitive astrophysics and astroparticle experiments. The precise study of the cosmic microwave background, the search for non-baryonic dark matter, the study of the properties of the neutrino and the exploration of the X-ray 'hot' universe, are exemplary cases using the advantages of this kind of detectors. This work presents the different types of cryogenic detectors (bolometers and calorimeters) under development or made at the CSNSM, and puts into perspective their interest but also the difficulties related to their manufacture and their operation at very low temperature
Abstract (French)
Les detecteurs cryogeniques fonctionnant en dessous du degre Kelvin ont permis la mise au point d'experiences d'Astrophysique et d'Astroparticules originales et tres sensibles. L'etude precise du fond diffus cosmologique, la recherche de la matiere noire non baryonique, l'etude des proprietes du neutrino et l'exploration de l'Univers chaud en rayons X, sont des cas exemplaires utilisant les avantages de ce genre de detecteurs. Le present travail expose les differents types de detecteurs cryogeniques (bolometres et calorimetres) en cours de developpement ou realises au CSNSM, et met en perspective leur interet mais aussi les difficultes liees a leur fabrication et leur fonctionnement a tres basse temperature.
