At these eVscale energies, small energy depositions from simultaneous higher-energy events (since as gamma rays) generate backgrounds which are important to understand. I will present the first Monte Carlo modeling using the test case of 137Cs decays where a 662 keV gamma-ray is emitted and deposits small energies in the silicon substrate of the STJ as a critical first step towards background characterization for SALER@FRIB.postersengCopyright of the original work is retained by the author.Text
