Abstract

We have developed a technique for producing double-sided multi-channel silicon crystal acoustic detectors (SiCADs). These detectors, which are operated at = 400 mK and use 40 nm thick films of supercond ucting Ti as the phonon sensors, have been used in time-coincidence experiments to study the propagation of alpha-induced ballistic phonons through 1 mm of crystalline Si.
