Description
The ROSEBUD (Rare Objects SEarch with Bolometers UndergrounD) Collaboration has tested scintillating bolometers of BGO, Al2O3 and LiF in a common experimental set-up in an ultralow background environment at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory. We present the new results of a recent analysis of the data obtained. The BGO heat and light response to different particles has been measured, focusing on its capability for nuclear recoils discrimination against the beta/gamma background. Requirements of BGO as target for a competitive dark matter experiment and comparison of its sensitivity with that of other targets used in direct dark matter searches is discussed. We also have analyzed the simultaneous use of LiF and Al2O3 scintillating bolometers to monitor the neutron flux inside the experimental shielding. New Monte Carlo simulations of the recoils induced in Al2O3 by fast neutrons are presented.
