Abstract
We describe the results of experiments on the S-35 irradiation of a me tastable superconducting detector between 2.0 and 3.4 K using a second -derivative rf SQUID readout operated in an integral mode. The detecto r consisted of 3x10(6) tin grains, distributed in diameter from 10(-25 ) micron. Comparison with computer simulation based on a hot border mo del consistent with the measurement protocols yields reasonable agreem ent despite the large timing uncertainties associated with the measuri ng systematics of the SQUID system.
