Abstract
A SSG detector has been tested in a first long-lasting experiment. It consisted of 13 g of tin granules with diameters of 29+/-0.5 mu m embe dded in Teflon powder with a volume filling factor of 11%. The detecto r has been exposed to cosmic rays and radioactive sources and has been kept for seven weeks at a constant temperature of 70 mK followed by s horter periods at 545 mK and 1.04 K. The detector performance as well as results of rate measurements are presented. These tests were made i n preparation of the ORPHEUS dark matter experiment.
