Kinetic Inductance Detectors for Astronomy

这个项目将包括用于天文学的动态电感探测器的开发。KIDs是一种新型超导探测器，可以测量光子的到达时间和能量。我们正在开发它们作为天文摄谱仪。该项目将涉及一系列的研究，包括基于实验室的开发和探测器性能的计算机模拟。还将使用KIDs分析天文观测结果。

This project will involve the development of Kinetic Inductance Detectors for use in Astronomy. KIDs are a novel superconducting detector that can measure the arrival time and the energy of a photon. We are developing them for use as an astronomical spectrograph. This project will involve a range of studies including lab-based development and computer simulations of the performance of the detectors. There will also be an element of analysing astronomical observations using KIDs.
