Superheated superconducting aluminium and zinc granules for nuclear recoil detection

Description

We discuss the possible use of Al and Zn superheated superconducting granules (SSG) as nucleus recoil detectors for solar neutrinos and dark matter. Recent results on superheating and sensitivity under irradiation are presented for collections of such grains. We also report possible evidence for thermal avalanche phenomena in collections of 4 micron average diameter Zn microspheres at T = 400 mK
