abstract

The energy threshold of a cryogenic calorimeter can be lowered by reducing its size. This is of importance since the resulting increase in signal rate enables new approaches in rare-event searches, including the detection of MeV mass dark matter and coherent scattering of reactor or solar neutrinos. A scaling law for energy threshold vs. detector size is given. We analyze the possibility of lowering the threshold of a gram-scale cryogenic calorimeter to the few eV regime. A prototype 0.5 g Al$_2$O$_3$ device achieved an energy threshold of (${19.7\pm0.1}$) eV, the lowest value reported for a macroscopic calorimeter.

  1. Prospect of the NUCLEUS Experiment at Chooz for Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering and New Physics Searches

    hep-ex 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Assuming the low-energy background can be eliminated, a 7-gram NUCLEUS detector at Chooz is projected to see coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering at 4.7σ in one year and to set competitive bounds on new neutrino interactions.

  2. Sub-keV Electron Recoil Calibration for Macroscopic Cryogenic Calorimeters using a Novel X-ray Fluorescence Source

    physics.ins-det 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A two-stage X-ray fluorescence source provides calibration lines from 677 eV to 8 keV, revealing a nonlinear response in a gram-scale cryogenic calorimeter.

  3. Neutrino NSI in archaeological Pb

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    RES-NOVA with a 0.1 keV threshold and 1 ton·yr exposure could probe neutrino non-standard interactions beyond current global constraints, especially in the eτ sector.
