Charge-to-heat transducers exploiting the Neganov-Trofimov-Luke effect for light detection in rare-event searches

V. Novati, L. Bergé, L. Dumoulin +8

In this work we present how to fabricate large-area (15 cm2), ultra-low threshold germanium bolometric photo-detectors and how to operate them to detect few (optical) photons. Thes…
