Electron scattering in cryogenic scintillating calorimeters for rare event searches — •Elisa Gaido for the COSINUS collaboration — Max-Planck-Institut für Physik, Munich, Germany

Cryogenic scintillating calorimeters (CSCs) are an established technology for the direct detection of dark matter through nuclear scattering. Current CSC experiments like COSINUS are starting to explore the possibility of using CSCs for the direct detection of dark matter-electron and neutrino-electron scattering, e.g. in the OνDES project. The theoretical framework for these searches is still under development. This contribution explores the possibility of detecting neutrino-electron scattering with CSCs and constraining their properties beyond the standard model of particles. This research is part of the LUCE/OνDES project funded by the Klaus Tschira foundation.
