Abstract

The development of cryogenic calorimeters was originally motivated by the fact that very low energy thresholds and excellent energy resolutions can be achieved by these devices. Cryogenic devices are widely used in double beta decay experiments, in cosmological dark matter searches, in x-ray detection of galactic and extragalactic objects as well as in cosmic background radiation experiments. An overview of the latest developments is given.
