Low-Temperature Calorimetry for
Nuclear Spectroscopy, Neutrino Mass Searches and Other Exotica

Professor Henry Stroke

New York University

Stimulated by work at CERN on the neutrino mass search with use of the internal bremsstrahlung follwing electron capture, we initiated there in 1983 low-temperature calorimetric techniques for measuring the beta decay spectrum with the expectation of avoiding major systematic errors. An overview of these techniques and applications which have mushroomed since then will be given.
