Although superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) are wellstudied regarding the detection of infrared/optical photons and keV-molecules,no studies on continuous X-ray photon counting by thick-film detectors havebeen reported so far. We fabricated a 100 nm thick niobium X-ray SNSPD (anX-SNSPD), and studied its detection capability of photons with keV-energies incontinuous mode. The detector is capable to detect photons even at reduced biascurrents of 0.4%, which is in sharp contrast to optical thin-film SNSPDs. Nodark counts were recorded in extended measurement periods. Strikingly, thesignal amplitude distribution depends significantly on the photon energyspectrum.
