On the anomalous afterglow seen in a chameleon afterglow search
  We present data from our investigation of the anomalous orange-colored
afterglow that was seen in the GammeV Chameleon Afterglow Search (CHASE). These
data includes information about the broad band color of the observed glow, the
relationship between the glow and the temperature of the apparatus, and other
data taken prior to and during the science operations of CHASE. While differing
in several details, the generic properties of the afterglow from CHASE are
similar to luminescence seen in some vacuum compounds. Contamination from this,
or similar, luminescent signatures will likely impact the design of
implementation of future experiments involving single photon detectors and high
intensity light sources in a cryogenic environment.
