Description

I will present the SIMAP project proposal conceived within a collaboration among researchers from the INFN-cryogenic detectors laboratory, the ISC-CNR, IFN-CNR, and the Sapienza physics department. The aim of the project is to realize a prototype KID based on a high-Tc superconductor with the aim of lowering the operational costs for commercial applications in fields as medicine, astronomy, and security. I will discuss the challenges and advantages that can arise from this kind of materials.
