The CRESST experiment towards the next generation of sub GeV direct dark matter detection

open access: yesCommunications Physics
Direct detection experiments have established the most stringent constraints on potential interactions between particle candidates for relic, thermal dark matter and Standard Model particles.

The 66-channel SQUID readout system for CRESST II

open access: yes, 2002
The upgrade of the CRESST experiment to a 10 kg target of phonon/light detectors necessitates the installation of 66 readout channels in the CRESST cryostat.

Mirrors for Space Telescopes: Degradation Issues

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Mirrors are a subset of optical components essential for the success of current and future space missions. Most of the telescopes for space programs ranging from earth observation to astrophysics and covering the whole electromagnetic spectrum from x ...

Light dark matter investigation with CRESST [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of Neutrino Oscillation Workshop — PoS(NOW2018), 2019
Cryogenic detectors are excellent devices for rare event searches. Thanks to their low energy thresholds, these detectors are at the cutting edge for the investigations of light dark matter (DM). The CRESST (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers) experiment explores with high sensitivity the parameter space of low mass DM ...

The CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) for high-energy astroparticle physics on the International Space Station

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
The CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) is a space experiment, currently under development by Japan in collaboration with Italy and the United States, which will measure the flux of cosmic-ray electrons (and positrons) up to 20 TeV energy, of gamma ...

“Teaching To the Test” Family of Fallacies

open access: yesRevista Iberoamericana de Evaluación Educativa, 2017
This article explains the various meanings and ambiguities of the phrase “teaching to the test” (TttT), describes its history and use as a pejorative, and outlines the policy implications of the popular, but fallacious, belief that “high stakes” testing ...

CRESST cryogenic dark matter search

open access: yesNew Astronomy Reviews, 2005
Abstract The CRESST Phase II experiment at Gran Sasso is using 300 g scintillating CaWO 4 crystals as absorbers for direct WIMP (weakly interactive massive particles) detection. The phonon signal in the CaWO 4 crystal is registered in coincidence with the light signal, which is measured with a separate cryogenic light detector. The absorber crystal

Constraints on self-interaction cross-sections of dark matter in universal bound states from direct detection

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
$$\varLambda $$ Λ -Cold Dark Matter ( $$\varLambda $$ Λ CDM) has been successful at explaining the large-scale structures in the universe but faces severe issues on smaller scales when compared to observations.

Multichannel SQUID readout for CRESST II

open access: yesNuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2004
We have developed a 66-channel SQUID system to read out the detectors for the second phase of the CRESST dark matter search using SQUID sensors, electronics and cryocables supplied by different manufacturers. The system has been extensively tested at Oxford to characterise the sensitivity, bandwidth, slew rate, noise, thermal drift, and crosstalk.

Cresst-II: dark matter search with scintillating absorbers

open access: yesNuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2004
In the CRESST-II experiment, scintillating CaWO4 crystals are used as absorbers for direct WIMP (weakly interacting massive particles) detection. Nuclear recoils can be discriminated against electron recoils by measuring phonons and scintillation light simultaneously.
