Description

Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$\nu$NS) offers a valuable approach in searching for physics beyond the Standard Model. The Ricochet neutrino experiment aims to perform a precision measurement of the CE$\nu$NS spectrum at the ILL nuclear reactor with cryogenic solid-state detectors. The experiment will employ an array of 36 detectors, each with a mass of around 30 g and a target energy threshold of 50 eV. Nine of these detectors, the Q-Array, will use Transition Edge Sensors (TESs) coupled to gram-scale targets to observe particle interactions. In this talk, I will present the initial performance of a Q-Array-style detector architecture consisting of a 1-gram Si target coupled to a single TES.
