Lowering the energy threshold of large-mass bolometric detectors
read the original abstract
Large-mass bolometers are used in particle physics experiments to search for rare processes. The energy threshold of such detectors plays a critical role in their capability to search for dark matter interactions and rare nuclear decays. We have developed a trigger and a pulse shape algorithm based on the matched filter technique which, when applied to data from test bolometers of the CUORE experiment, lowered the energy threshold from tens of keV to the few keV region. The detection efficiency is in excess of 80%, and nearly all nonphysical pulses are rejected.

Background of the BULLKID detector array operated with moderate shield on surface
BULLKID silicon detector array background rate matches simulations at (6.8 ± 0.4 stat. ± 0.1 syst.) × 10^4 counts/keV/kg/day from 2 keV to 600 eV, with excess below 600 eV unlike typical cryogenic low-energy excesses.

Background of the BULLKID detector array operated with moderate shield on surface
BULLKID array background rate matches simulations at (6.8±0.4 stat.±0.1 syst.)×10^4 counts/keV/kg/day from 2 keV to 600 eV but shows an unexplained rise between 225 eV and 600 eV.
