Cryogenic detectors — •Gabriel Chardin — DAPNIA/SPP, CEA/Saclay, F-91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, France

Over the last 15 years, cryogenic detectors have developed rapidly, resulting in devices with unprecedented energy resolutions and identification properties of the experimental background. I will present some of the major developments involving massive detectors (dark matter and double beta decay searches) and microcalorimeters (neutrino mass, X-ray spectroscopy). I will also briefly review some of the developments involving cryogenic detector matrices for X-ray, infrared and CMB missions.
