Discrimination of recoil backgrounds in scintillating calorimeters

The alpha decay of 210Po is a dangerous background to rare event searches. Here, we describe observations related to this alpha decay in the Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers (CRESST). We find that lead nuclei show a scintillation light yield in our CaWO4 crystals of 0.01...
