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...

CUPID-0 is the first large array of scintillating Zn82Se cryogenic calorimeters (bolometers) implementing particle identification for the search of the neutrinoless double beta decay (0nbb). The detector consists of 24 enriched Zn82Se bolometers for a total 82Se mass of 5.28 kg and it has been taking data in the underground LNGS (Italy) since...
