I will discuss a brief history of the experiment, the progress we have made, and our achievements over the past 2 years.
The BeEST Experiment is an international collaboration between experts in many different fields of science. Few of them are low-temperature solid-state physicists. But we all work on some aspect of nuclear decays in superconducting tunnel junctions at temperatures around ~0.1 K. This talk will give a very basic overview of superconductivity and tunnel junctions that I think every collaborator...
I'll present the experimental concept and status for 7Be and 37Ar beam implantations and prospects at TRIUMF.
