DESCRIPTION:Michael Niemack\, Department of Physics\, Cornell University\, 
 will present seminar. Professor James P. Sethna\, host.\n\nSeminar Title: 
  Applied superconductivity in low-temperature detectors and SQUIDs for mic
 rowave\, optical\, and X-ray measurements\n\nAbstract: Advances in superco
 nducting detector arrays in the last decade have transformed our ability t
 o make precise measurements in microwave astrophysics\, and recent develop
 ments are enabling new energy-resolving single-photon measurements spannin
 g the optical and X-ray spectrum.  I will review the performance of superc
 onducting transition-edge sensor (TES) detectors and describe recent progr
 ess in understanding the behavior of the superconducting transition in the
 se thin film devices.  SQUID multiplexing techniques that we use to measur
 e thousands of TES detectors will be discussed along with some of the chal
 lenges for building large arrays of fast single-photon detectors.  I will 
 introduce advantages of superconducting kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs
 ) being developed for both single-photon optical spectroscopy and microwav
 e measurements and briefly highlight some next generation applications for
  these devices.\n\nPoster available.
