De Visser, P.J. (author), Baselmans, J.J.A. (author), Diener, P. (author), Yates, S.J.C. (author), Endo, A. (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author) We present measurements of quasiparticle generation-recombination noise in aluminium Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors, the fundamental noise source for these detectors. Both the quasiparticle lifetime and the number of quasiparticles can be determined from the noise spectra. The number of quasiparticles saturates to 10 ?m?3 at temperatures...
