Wagner, R G; Gray, K E

A possibly very-radiation-hard detector based on superconducting thin film strips is described. The interaction of the thin film detector with charged particles is discussed, and the feasibility of extending previous work on alpha-particle detection to the more stringent requirements for minimum ionizing particles is considered. A novel approach to the readout is briefly outlined which utilizes the slow phase velocity of electromagnetic waves possible in superconducting waveguides. (LEW)
