Scientific paper

We present an experiment detecting X-rays by an annular Nb-based Superconducting Tunnel Junction (STJ). In one magnetic field configuration, we stably trapped a single magnetic fluxon in the STJ barrier during the transition to the superconducting state. This is an innovative configuration which avoids the use of an externally applied field during detector operation. This offers potential benefits for STJs used in imaging arrays. In this configuration, and also in the conventional one with an externally applied parallel magnetic field, we observed current pulses produced by single 6 keV X-rays. The pulses were identical for both configurations. .
