| Abstract | Inorganic scintillators are important elements of a new type of cryogenic phonon scintillation detector (CPSD) being developed for single particle detection. These detectors, exhibiting superior energy resolution and the ability to identify the type of interaction in an event, are considered to be the next generation of instrumentation in the search for extremely rare events. This paper presents the latest results of our research on cryogenic scintillators for CPSD applications in the search for dark matter. The paper gives a description of the concept of direct dark matter detection and the operation principles of CPSD, discusses the major material requirements and summarizes the results of investigations over a wide temperature range of the luminescence and scintillation properties of tungstates (CaWO4 and ZnWO4), molybdates (CaMoO4, MgMoO4 and CdMoO4) and Ti-doped Al2O3. |
