Scientific paper

The operational principles of superheated superconducting spheres are reviewed, and results of significance to their application in radiation detection are discussed. Metastable superconductors are found in either intrinsic or geometric states, naively characterized by microspheres and strips, respectively. With spheres, prototype matrix detectors have been built and provide the basis for potential imaging systems as well as specific particle detection systems. Recent results demonstrate that with rather large microspheres not selected in size, energy resolution can be achieved. Strips, recently studied with an induction readout technique, indicate a possible new form of detector with an enhanced capacity for energy resolution.
