A SUPERCONDUCTING THIN-FILM NUCLEAR-PARTICLE DETECTOR

Abstract

Recent advances in theory and development of a superconducting nuclear-particle detection technique are presented. A review of previous theory as well as recent theoretical work is included. Experimental results obtained at US Army Nuclear Defense Laboratory and through contract with Atomics International, a division of North American Aviation, are compared with the existing theory. The report is intended, not only to present results of recent work, but also to provide a summary of all developmental work. The problems encountered in the research are discussed and some suggestions are offered as possible paths to solutions.
