Popis:	We have measured the response of a series array of superconducting tunnel junctions to the non-equilibrium phonons generated in single crystals of InSb by nuclear particle interactions at a temperature of 100 mK. The results demonstrate an energy resolution below 210±60 eV (FWHM) for photons of energy 22.1 keV after subtracting the electronic noise. The detector response has high linearity for the detection of photons with energies in the range 3 to 662 keV.
