Ultra-low background experiments that employ the phonon-light technique for an active background suppression (e.g. the direct dark matter search experiment CRESST-II and the planned EURECA experiment or future experiments searching for the neutrino-less double beta decay) rely heavily on the sensitivity of the cryogenic light-detector at low energies.
The Neganov-Luke (NL) effect offers a...

LENA (Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy) is a next-generation liquid-scintillator neutrino detector with 50kton target mass. The broad spectrum of physics goals ranging from the sub-MeV to the GeV regime sets high demands on the photosensors. Currently, photomultipliers (PMTs) are the sensor of choice. However, besides detecting photons, they also emit light through bremsstrahlung or fluorescence...

A goal for next-generation neutrino telescopes is the search for cosmogenic neutrinos in the extremely high energy region as expected from the GZK effect. Event rates are lower than one event/km^3/year and therefore a detector volume more than one order of magnitude larger than IceCube is desirable. A possible approach to achieve such an increase in a cost-effective way is the acoustic...
