Planar Arrays of Superheated Superconductors: fabrication, testing, and exploring the superconducting transition

The Planar Array of Superheated Superconductors (PASS) has been suggested as a possible detector for dark matter and other weakly interacting particles. This work concentrates on overcoming the problems in device fabrication which prevent the PASS detector from being a viable detector for these l...
