During the last couple of decades, the use of arrays of bolometers has represented one of the leading techniques for the search for rare events. CUORE, an array of 988 TeO 2 bolometers that is taking data since April 2017 at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (Italy), exploits the large mass, low background, good energy resolution and low...

Liquid argon (LAr), widely used as the active target in neutrino and dark matter experiments, is a scintillator with a light yield of approximately 40 photons/keV. The scintillation spectrum is centered at 128 nm, and the attenuation length is of the order of meters, depending on the purity. The addition of small amounts of dopants allows for...
