Abstract
Recently, a new position-sensitive cryogenic detector for out-of-magne tic-held high-energy particle tracking has been proposed. This consist s of a semiconductive substrate to transduce the energy of particles i n charge and of a current-driven Josephson-Tunnel Junction-based sampl e and hold circuit. The main interest in such a device consists in the extreme radiation hardness of the Josephson readout circuitry. Moreov er, these circuits offer unique performances in terms of speed and pow er dissipation. Using radiation-hard semiconductive transducers the en tire detector is expected to safely survive a dose of one Gigarad. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V, All rights reserved.
