Background suppression plays a crucial role in particle physics experiments searching for rare events, such as neutrinoless double beta decay and dark matter interactions. Bolometers, that are among the most competitive devices in this field, would largely benefit from the development of ultrasensitive light detectors, as the combined readout...

The main aim of the cryogenic wide-area light detectors with excellent resolution project is the development of cryogenic light detectors with large active area (∼50 mm × 50 mm) and noise energy resolution smaller than 20-eV RMS. Such detectors will be used to discriminate the background in next generation large-mass bolometric experiments,...
