NEPshot = ( 2 P0 Equant )1/2
P0 – background power load
Equant – energy level of P0 quantization
Equant = kB Te - normal metal absorber

Conclusions:Conclusions:We propose the
-- simplest-- smallest (< 2 m) -- coldest (Te < Tph) -- fastest(~ 10 ns) --- most sensitive (under real background Po) -- not saturated (up to Tc of electrodes, >100 pW)-- ideal ”0-detector” (could not be better!) -- easy multiplied on plane substrate (for large arrays)-- easy amplified by Cascade Quasiparticle Amplifier-- easy multiplexed by SQUIDs-- easy fit in any experiment (from submm to near-IR)
