We consider the effects of the junction geometry in view of the requir
ements imposed by a possible use of Josephson tunnel junctions as nucl
ear detectors. The magnetic field dependence of the critical-current o
f rhombus shaped junctions has been investigated both experimentally a
nd theoretically.
