Abstract

Superconducting detectors have been shown to be superior to other techniques in some applications. However, superconducting devices have not been used for detecting neutrons often in the past decades. We have been developing various superconducting neutron detectors. In this paper, we review our attempts to measure neutrons using superconducting stripline detectors with DC bias currents. These include attempts with a MgB2-based detector and a Nb-based detector with a 10B converter.
