Superconductors as detectors of particles of dark matter

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Effects that arise following collisions of particles of dark matter with the node of the crystalline lattice of a type I superconductor are described. Methods and designs for the measurement of these effects are considered.
