Scintillating bolometers for Double Beta Decay search

In the field of Double Beta Decay (DBD) searches, the use of high resolution detectors in which background can be actively discriminated is very appealing. Scintillating bolometers containing a Double Beta Decay emitter can largely fulfill this very interesting possibility. In this paper we present...

Description
Summary:In the field of Double Beta Decay (DBD) searches, the use of high resolution detectors in which background can be actively discriminated is very appealing. Scintillating bolometers containing a Double Beta Decay emitter can largely fulfill this very interesting possibility. In this paper we present the latest results obtained with CdWO 4 and CaMoO 4 crystals. Moreover we report, for the first time, a very interesting feature of CaMoO 4 bolometers: the possibility to discriminate β – γ events from those induced by α particles thanks to different thermal pulse shape.
