TL;DR: In this article, a phase transition thermometer combined with a SQUID readout was used for low temperature calorimetric particle detectors, achieving an energy resolution of ΔE E = 1.2% for irradiation with 5.8 MeV α -particles.

TL;DR: A tungsten superconducting phase transition thermometer on a 32 g sapphire crystal has given an energy resolution of 100 eV (FWHM) for 1.5 keV X-rays, increasing to 440 eV at 14 keV.

TL;DR: Hauser and Treuerer as discussed by the authors studied the proximity effect in bilayers of thin films of iridium covered by gold and achieved critical temperatures as low as 33 mK by varying the thicknesses of the iridium and gold layers.

TL;DR: In this article, the CRESST experiment is used to search for dark matter WIMPs using a superconducting phase transition thermometer (SST thermometer) and four 250 g sapphire detectors with thresholds of 0.5 and 0.2 keV at 1 keV.

TL;DR: Iridium-gold proximity effect bilayers with critical temperatures between 20 and 100 mK were made for use as superconducting phase transition thermometers for low temperature calorimeters as discussed by the authors.
