Abstract
Superconducting tunnel junctions (STJs) have a large possibility of being utilized as radiation detectors of ultra-high energy-resolution if excess quasi- particles excited by a radiation efficiently contribute to the signal. Researches of STJ detectors including our recent studies on Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb junctions with a single crystal Nb film and on series-connected STJ detectors are briefly reviewed.
