Abstract
A safety fuse has been designed for the electrical protection of gas-filled detectors in the ATLAS experiment at CERN (Geneva, Switzerland). The fuse is a polished lithium niobate plate with a titanium strip of 91-kΩ resistance deposited by the photolithographic technique. The forced blow-out time of the fuse is 10–50 ms; whereupon the leakage current through it is <1 nA at a 2-kV voltage. The resistance of the fuse case is ≥1012 Ω. Its overall dimensions are 5.8 × 3.8 × 2 mm.
