Title: "Search for Dark Matter with BULLKID" 

Abstract: "Dark matter, primarily interacting through gravity, remains elusive due to its weak interaction with ordinary matter. Evidence supporting its existence includes anomalous rotational velocity of stars and galaxies, gravitational lensing, and cosmic microwave background anisotropy. It is hypothesized to consist of non-baryonic massive particles such as Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). The BULLKID project aims to detect WIMPs by measuring the low-energy nuclear recoils they produce using a monolithic array of particle absorbers sensed by high-energy resolution detectors. Additionally, the project seeks sensitivity to coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, another elusive process that contribute to background signals observed in WIMP detection experiments."
