Abstract

The effective quasiparticle recombination lifetime in superconducting Pb films has been measured using Pb-oxide-Pb tunnel junctions and is consistent with the assumption that phonon lifetimes dominate the quasiparticle density relaxation. No evidence is found of the inelastic phonon processes suggested by Schuller and Gray.
