Abstract

Scintillating bolometers of LiF and Al2O3 can monitor the fast neutrons flux in WIMPs searches. With both materials we merge the traditional fast neutron detection methods of induced reactions and scattering. The ROSEBUD collaboration devoted an underground run in the old Canfranc laboratory to study the response of LiF and Al2O3 to fast neutrons from 252Cf. Both bolometers were used simultaneously in a common experimental set-up resembling those of current WIMPs searches, which could give valuable insights into future WIMPs searches with cryogenic detectors as EURECA.
