Objetivo The main objective of this project is to design, study and produce the universal SQUID read-out system of planned sensitivity better than 50 fA/Hz1/2 for ultrasensitive imaging arrays of superconducting sensors.In general, for space astronomy the required sensitivity of the sensor is 10-18 W/Hz1/2 for number of elements of about 100 at submillimeter wavelengths. In the final stage of this project the integration of developed universal SQUID read-out system with 8-element low-temperature (about 0.1 K) antenna-coupled nanobolometer array will be made.Research activities will be tended in various directions including the following parts:The technological part - design of special SQUIDs and SQUID-gradiometers which are capable of operating with required sensitivity in low-temperature range (0.1 K) with high source resistance (1 - 10kOhm);The electronics part - development of a simple non-modulation wide band SQUID electronics based on helium-temperature cooled preamplifier or SQUID preamplifier; acquisition system and computer control electronics;Software part - development of programs for automatic system operation;Methodological part - development techniques for quantitative measurements of signals from nano-size SIN tunnel junctions with normal resistance of about 10kOhm.The following results will be obtained:- the special thin-film SQUIDs providing the required sensitivity when operating with high-resistive signal source;- specific dc SQUID electronics;- technique of precise electrical measurements;- the first experimental data.
