Timing jitter in photon detection by straight superconducting nanowires: Effect of magnetic field and photon flux

We studied the effects of the external magnetic field and photon flux on timing jitter in photon detection by straight superconducting NbN nanowires. At two wavelengths 800 and 1560 nm, statistical distribution in the appearance times of photon counts exhibits Gaussian shape at small times and an ex...
