SUMMARY:Thermal Kinetic Inductance Detectors for X-ray Spectroscopy\, 
 NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Dr. Thomas Cecil\, Argonne
  National Laboratories
DESCRIPTION:Since their introduction ten years ago\, microwave kinetic
  inductance detectors (MKIDs) have been examined for applications rang
 ing from the far infrared to gamma rays. Although these detectors have
  been shown to work with x-rays\, several technical challenges have pr
 evented their widespread use. At Argonne\, we are developing thermal k
 inetic inductance detectors (TKIDs)\, a variation of the MKID in which
  the superconducting inductance serves as sensitive thermometer. In th
 is talk I will provide a general overview MKIDs and introduce the conc
 ept of TKIDs. I will discuss our ongoing research into TKIDs\, includi
 ng device theory\, thermal modeling\, and device fabrication. Finally\
 , I will discuss possible applications for TKIDs in X-ray spectroscopy
