Researechers are testing superconducting microwire single-photon detectors (SMSPDs) for use in future particle physics exepriments. The detectors, which were designed and fabricated at JPL and commissioned at the INQNET-Caltech labs, were recently tested at Fermilab. They have the ability to detect single parties at a time, and may improve the precision of measurements made in particle accelerator collisions.
