Description
For high-energy particle detection, we investigated two materials: niobium and a high-temperature superconductor, YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$. Lumped element kinetic inductance detectors are fabricated with the both superconductors. The both devices detected the alpha line (5.4 MeV) radiated from $^{241}$Am source at 1 K. The energy resolution of the Nb-base detectors was approximately 0.6 MeV and independent from the power of the readout signal, although the decay time strongly depends on the microwave power and vary from 6-2 $\mu$s.
The duration of alpha line signals with the YBCO-resonators were less than 0.1 $\mu$s due to relatively low quality factor (4000-7000) and very fast quasiparticle life time.
