The PreProcessor of the ATLAS Level-1 Calorimeter Trigger prepares the analogue trigger signals sent from the ATLAS calorimeters by digitising, synchronising, and calibrating them to reconstruct transverse energy deposits, which are then used in further processing to identify event features. During the first long shutdown of the LHC from 2013 to 2014, the central components of the PreProcessor, the Multichip Modules, were replaced by upgraded versions that feature modern ADC and FPGA technology to ensure optimal performance in the high pile-up environment of LHC Run 2.

The CUPID-0 experiment searches for neutrinoless double beta decay using the first array of enriched Zn82Se scintillating bolometers with double (heat and light) read-out. To further enhance the CUPID-0 detector performances, the heat-light correlation has been exploited to improve the energy resolution. Different decorrelation algorithms have been studied and the best result is the average reduction of the full width at half maximum (FWHM) energy resolution to (90.5±0.6) % of its original value, corresponding to a change from FWHM=(20.7±0.5) keV to FWHM=(18.7±0.5) keV at the 2615 keV ?
