Large volume ZnWO₄ scintillator with improved performance characteristics have been obtained. Due to its favorable light yield values at low temperatures and extremely low intrinsic radioactivity, zinc tungstate is a material of very good prospects for cryogenic double beta-decay and dark matter exp...
