“…The bolometers are sensitive calorimeters that measure the energy deposited by particle or photon interactions by measuring the corresponding rise in temperature. The CUORICINO bolometers are single crystals of TeO 2 ; they are dielectric and diamagnetic, and are operated at temperatures between 8 and 10 mK [44,45]. According to the Debye Law, the specific heat of TeO 2 crystals is given by C(T ) = β(T / D ) 3 , where β = 1994 JK −1 mol −1 and D is the Debye temperature.…”

Corresponding author exist scenarios in which the effective Majorana mass of the electron neutrino could be larger than 0.05 eV. Recent developments in detector technology make the observation of 0 νββ decay at this scale now feasible. For recent comprehensive experimental and theoretical reviews see [4][5][6]. Optimism that a direct observation of 0 νββ decay is possible was greatly enhanced by the observation and measurement of the oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos [7], the confirmation by SuperKamiokande [8] of the deficit of 8 B neutrinos observed by the chlorine experiment [9], the observed deficit of p-p neutrinos by SAGE [10] and GALEX [11], and the results of the SNO experiment [12] that clearly showed that the total flux of 8 B neutrinos from the sun predicted by Bahcall and his coworkers [13] is correct. Finally, the data from the KamLAND

Sterile neutrinos are possible dark matter candidates. We examine here possible detection mechanisms, assuming that the neutrino has a mass of about 50 keV and couples to the ordinary neutrino. Even though this neutrino is quite heavy, it is non relativistic with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.1 eV. Thus new experimental techniques are required for its detection. We estimate the expected event rate in the following cases: i) Measure electron recoils in the case of materials with very low electron binding. ii) Low temperature crystal bolometers. iii) Spin induced atomic excitations at very low temperatures, leading to a characteristic photon spectrum. iv) Observation of resonances in antineutrino absorption by a nucleus undergoing electron capture. v) Neutrino induced electron events beyond the end point energy of beta decaying systems, e.g. in the tritium decay studied by KATRIN.

“…Both bolometers have, as absorber, a 6 Â 6 Â 6 cm 3 TeO 2 crystal, with a heat capacity of 2:33 Â 10 À9 J=K at 8.5 mK, as can be calculated assuming a Debye law with Y D ¼ 232 K [2]. The temperature sensors (for redundancy we decided to glue two of them on each crystal) are 3 Â 3 Â 1 mm 3 Neutron Transmutation Doped Ge thermistors, series #31 [3].…”
