Abstract
To detect WIMP (Weakly Interacting Massive Particle)-nucleon scattering events and thus validate the dark matter hypothesis, the CRESST (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers) and the future EURECA (European Underground Rare Event Calorimeter Array) experiments use modularized cryogenic detectors operated at mK temperatures. We present an attempt to realize so-called composite detectors for this purpose. A detailed thermal detector model to investigate the composite detector design concerning signal evolution and detector performance is described.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
