Quasiparticle diffusion and edge losses in superconducting tunnel junction detectors with two active electrodes

A theoretical model to describe the spectral response of SIS tunnel junctions under irradiation in the presence of diffusion and edge losses of non-equilibrium quasiparticles has been developed. The model takes into account the back-tunnelling effect, in the general case of asymmetrical rates of tun...
