A particle detector assembly includes a substrate on which are mounted at least two superconducting quasiparticle detectors. A processing system is connected to the detectors and distinguishes between events detected simultaneously in each detector and non-simultaneous events.

Particle detector assembly

A particle detector assembly includes a superconducting absorber to which is coupled superconducting tunnel junction detectors for detecting particles incident on the absorber. Each superconducting tunnel junction detector includes superconducting tunnel junction devices connected in parallel.

A method of producing a transition edge sensor comprises depositing a sensing material upon a substrate to form a sensing layer having an associated transition temperature. The transition temperature for the sensing layer is selected as desired. The desired transition temperature is produced by controlling the temperature of the substrate for the deposition process.
