The detection of low-energy charged particles is essential to high-precision fundamental physics experiments, particularly with neutron beta decay. The majority of these experiments have traditionally used semiconductor detectors but are beginning to reach their limits; an increase in precision will require a complete revision of the charged particle detectors. Investigating low temperature detectors (sub-1K) could inspire a new generation of neutron beta decay experiments. This research focuses on designing and characterizing a type of cryogenic detector called the thermal kinetic inductance detector (TKID) for charged particle response. The development of these detectors has a number of hands-on and computational research projects and is an excellent opportunity for students to participate in experimental design.<\/p>\n
