Abstract

In order to increase the range of targets for rare events detection at low temperature such as dark matter or neutrinoless double beta decay events, we have developed an optical cryostat to study the scintillation of crystals down to 2.8 K under γ particles, thanks to its compact optical geometry. Some scintillation properties of BGO (Bi4Ge3O12) at low temperature obtained with this setup will be shown here.
