Abstract
A new generation of detectors for non-accelerator particle physics has been under development in the last years and has recently started to be used in experimental searches. The results have already demonstrate d that low temperature detectors can be competitive with conventional ones in several fields of non-accelerator particle physics. The near f uture upgrading of this technique will be the extension from one singl e crystal device to arrays of several single crystals. This new detect or set-up poses stimulating and original technical problems, both on d etector structure and signal analysis: our progresses in this field ar e reported.
