Abstract Intense or prolonged irradiation of suspensions of disordered Type I superconducting grains maintained in a superheated state creates a “hot border zone” below the normal superheated transition boundary. Subsequent increase of the applied magnetic field moves superconducting grains across the border into the zone, for which only thermal nucleation is possible until the highest local fields have again reached the usual superheated-normal transition value. This model suggests that, contrary to conventional wisdoms, energy resolution is possible with such detectors using both relatively large grains and size distributions.
