Schematic of the time-of-flight imaging setup, mainly including an imaging system and a coupling system. HWP is a wave plate, PBS is a polarization beam splitter, FCR is a fiber collimation package, and MMF is a 1 meter multimode fiber. Inset: Image of a laser spot coupling to the CS-SMSPD at room temperature using a cryo-lens, captured by an infrared camera.

Numerous applications at the photon-starved regime require a free-space coupling single-photon detector with a large active area, low dark count rate (DCR), and superior time resolutions. Here, we developed a superconducting microstrip single-photon detector (SMSPD), with a large active area of 260 µm in diameter, a DCR of ${\sim}{5}\;{\rm kcps}$ ∼...

The galactic 511~keV photon signal can be fully explained by the decaying dark matter generated through the freeze-in mechanism. The explanation of the 511~keV signal requires an extremely tiny coupling between the decaying dark matter and $e^+e^-$ pair and thus cannot be generated via direct freeze-in from standard model particles. We construct mo...

A bstract The presence of a plethora of light spin 0 and spin 1 fields is motivated in a number of BSM scenarios, such as the axiverse. The study of the interactions of such light bosonic fields with the Standard Model has focused mostly on interactions involving only one such field, such as the axion ( ϕ ) coupling to photons, $$\phi F\widetilde{F...
