Description
Neutrino-less double beta decay is a unique tool to demonstrate the existence of processes that violate the lepton number conservation and to probe the nature of neutrinos. Thanks to the excellent energy resolution and efficiency, cryogenic calorimeters are primed for the search of this extremely rare decay. I will illustrate the most recent results obtained in the development of cryogenic calorimeters with particle identification, focusing on the CUPID-0 experiment. The upgrade of this class of experiments will soon demand for more sensitive light detectors for an efficient particle identification. In this talk I will describe a new technology for light detection at 10 mK based on Kinetic Inductance Detectors.
