X-ray Detection By Superconducting Tunnel Junctions - Proceedings Of The International Workshop

This volume gives the state-of-the-art on superconducting tunnel junctions as X-ray detectors for low energy radioastronomy. Contributions from major experts of the main laboratories in the world are included. They cover many aspects of the subject, from nonequilibrium phenomena in STJ to the detector design optimization, and report the most recent experimental results in the field.
