The CRESST dark matter experiment: status and perspectives

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2000
Abstract The CRESST experiment in its first phase is using sapphire detectors with tungsten phase transition thermometers to search for dark matter WIMPs. At present four 262 g detectors are performing first measurements under low background conditions. Detector performance as well as preliminary results from the background runs are presented.

CRESST

EAS Publications Series, 2009
The CRESST-II direct Dark Matter search is located in the Gran Sasso underground laboratories, Italy. CaWO4 crystals are used as scintillating targets for WIMP (weakly interacting massive particle) interactions. They are operated as cryogenic calorimeters in combination with a second cryogenic detector used to measure the scintillation light produced ...

Detector Development for the CRESST Experiment [PDF]

Journal of Low Temperature Physics
AbstractRecently low-mass dark matter direct searches have been hindered by a low-energy background, drastically reducing the physics reach of the experiments. In the CRESST-III experiment, this signal is characterised by a significant increase of events below 200 eV. As the origin of this background is still unknown, it became necessary to develop new

Latest observations on the low energy excess in CRESST-III

SciPost Physics Proceedings, 2023
The CRESST experiment observes an unexplained excess of events at low energies. In the current CRESST-III data-taking campaign we are operating detector modules with different designs to narrow down the possible explanations.

Characterisation of low background CaWO$_4$ crystals for CRESST-III

SciPost Physics Proceedings, 2023
The CRESST-III experiment aims at the direct detection of dark matter particles via their elastic scattering off nuclei in a scintillating CaWO$_4$ target crystal.

The CRESST dark matter search

Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1998
The CRESST (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers) experiment at the Gran Sasso Laboratory will search for dark matter WIMPs using cryogenic detectors. In the first stage we will use four 262 g sapphire crystals with thresholds of about 0.5 keV.

Status of the CRESST Dark Matter Search [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2009
The CRESST experiment aims for a detection of dark matter in the form of WIMPs. These particles are expected to scatter elastically off the nuclei of a target material, thereby depositing energy on the recoiling nucleus. CRESST uses scintillating CaWO4 crystals as such a target.

CRESST – status and future

Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 2007
We present results on WIMP dark matter interaction, obtained using cryogenic phonon-scintillation detectors. The targets are CaWO4 scintillating crystals with phonon sensors, while scintillation is detected with an associated cryogenic light detector.

Light dark matter in the light of CRESST-II

Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2012
Recently the CRESST collaboration has published the long anticipated results of their direct Dark Matter (DM) detection experiment with a CaWO_4 target. The number of observed events exceeds known backgrounds at more than 4 sigma significance, and this excess could potentially be due to DM scattering.
