Superconducting gamma-detectors for non-destructive analysis in nuclear safeguards
Ultra-high energy resolution superconducting gamma ray detectors operated at temperatures of 0. 1 K can improve the accuracy of non-destructive analysis of nuclear materials. These detectors offer an order of magnitude improvement in resolution over conventional high-purity germanium detectors. The …

Microscopic physics of transition edge sensors
… Edge Sensors (TESs) are ultra-sensitive superconducting detectors having a wide range of applications, from quantum cryptography to x-ray spectroscopy. Models of TESs often employ a circuit theory approach, taking TES parameters such as the temperature and current dependent resistance as …

Transition Edge Sensors for Far-Infrared Space Science
Superconducting Transition Edge Sensors (TESs) are an outstanding candidate detector technology for the next generation of far-infrared space observatories. Future missions will seek to achieve unprecedented background-limited sensitivities by combining large (>1 m) cold (<4 K) aperture telescopes …
