Scientific paper

A program to investigate superconducting devices such as STDs for use in high-resolution Compton telescopes and coded-aperture detectors is presented. For higher energy applications, techniques are investigated with potential for scaling to large detectors, while also providing excellent energy and positional resolution. STDs are discussed, utilizing a uniform array of spherical granules tens of microns in diameter. The typical temperature-magnetic field phase for a low-temperature superconductor, the signal produced by the superconducting-normal transition in the 32-m diameter Sn granule, and the temperature history of an STD granule following heating by an ionizing particle are illustrated.
