Abstract :
Instantaneous switching to the voltage state of a superconducting tunnel junction (STJ) following a decrease in the critical current induced by a heavy ion beam was observed by introducing 40Ar particles with a kinetic energy of 95 MeV/nucleon into an Nb/Al–AlOx/Nb STJ. The particle detection by using this rapid switching of STJ could realize fast timing measurements at the level of ps.
