Closeup of a CDMS tower, view from above. The six vertical cards
viewed edge on hold FETs for the ionization measurement; the cards are
mounted to 4 degrees Kelvin while the FETs sit on a thermally decoupled
window that allows them to self-heat to 100 degrees Kelvin. The curved
stripline-type cables connect to the SQUID cards sitting at the 600 mK
layer of the detector assembly. The SQUIDs are used for readout of
the ZIP detector phonon sensors. The cable carries signal to and
from the SQUIDs. The striplines seen in the previous picture
are visible trailing off from the outside of the FET cards.
