R. Cristiano et al., SET-UP OF A NUCLEAR RADIATION EXPERIMENT WITH SUPERCONDUCTING TUNNEL-JUNCTIONS IN A COMPACT HE-3 CRYOSTAT, Cryogenics, 34, 1994, pp. 243-246
The development of an experimental set-up for radiation detection at T
= 0.4 K by Nb-based Superconducting Tunnel Junctions is presented. Pr
eliminary results concerning detectors characterization and 6 keV Xray
detection are shown and discussed.
