Searching for dark matter with CRESST
- Abstract:
- The CRESST II experiment is a dark matter search using cryogenic phonon-scintillation detectors, aiming to detect WIMP dark matter particle interactions. The detector consists of individual, modular and scintillating (CaWO4 or ZnWO4) target crystals, each equipped with a phonon sensor for precise determination of the energy deposited in the crystals. Each module is further equipped with a separate cryogenic scintillation light detector, allowing event-by-event background discrimination. An extended commissioning run during 2007 has set an upper limit on theWIMP-nucleon scattering cross section. Attention is currently focussed on the interpretation of a few remaining nuclear recoils candidate events.
