Quasiparticle diffusion, edge losses, and back-tunneling in superconducting tunnel junctions under x-ray irradiation
The efficiency of the charge collecting mechanism of a radiation detector based on superconducting tunnel junctions depends strongly on the competition between tunneling and losses of quasiparticles in the electrodes of the junction. In this article we discuss the loss of quasiparticles, both in the...
