摘要

In the context of axion search in the BabyIAXO and IAXO helioscopes, various types of cryogenic detectors are investigated as high energy resolution, low energy threshold alternatives for the standard micromegas X-ray detectors. The setup presented in this paper comprising metallic magnetic calorimeter (MMC) X-ray detectors, a cryogenic local muon veto read out by an MMC, and internal and external lead shields, aims at establishing the background level that can be reached with MMCs in an above-ground experimental site. The low background setup is described in detail, and first observations from a low-temperature run are presented.
