Applications for Microwave Kinetic Induction Detectors in Advanced Instrumentation

In recent years Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) have emerged as one of the most promising novel low temperature detector technologies. Their unrivaled scalability makes them very attractive for many modern applications and scientific instruments. this paper we intend to give an overview how where MKIDs are currently being used or suggested be in future. MKID based projects ongoing proposed observational astronomy, particle physics, material science THz imaging, goal review is provide easily usable thorough list possible starting points more in-depth literature research on areas profiting from kinetic inductance detectors.
