Abstract

Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE $$\upnu$$ NS) offers a valuable approach in searching for physics beyond the Standard Model. The Ricochet experiment aims to perform a precision measurement of the CE $$\upnu$$ NS spectrum at the Institut Laue-Langevin nuclear reactor with cryogenic solid-state detectors. The experiment will employ an array of cryogenic thermal detectors, each with a mass of around 30 g and an energy threshold of 50 eV. One section of this array will contain 9 Transition Edge Sensor (TES)-based calorimeters. The design will not only fulfill requirements for Ricochet, but also act as a demonstrator for future neutrino experiments that will require thousands of macroscopic detectors. In this article, we present an updated TES chip design, as well as performance predictions based on a numerical modeling.
