Solar Neutrinos in Cryogenic Detectors

A. Bento, A. Bertolini, L. Canonica +13

Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CENS) poses an irreducible background in the search for dark matter-nucleus elastic scatterings, which is commonly known as the ne…

Optimisation of TES design for the CRESST experiment

G. Angloher, S. Banik, A. Bento +54

The CRESST experiment aims at the direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter particles via elastic scattering off nuclei in different target crystals at cryogenic temperatures. The ad…

Observation of a low energy nuclear recoil peak in the neutron calibration data of an AlO crystal in CRESST-III

CRESST Collaboration, G. Angloher, S. Banik +59

The current generation of cryogenic solid state detectors used in direct dark matter and CE\textnu NS searches typically reach energy thresholds of (10)eV for nucl…

ImpCresst -- A versatile simulation tool focusing on solid-state detectors at keV energies

G. Angloher, S. Banik, A. Bento +57

We present ImpCresst, a Geant4-based Monte Carlo tool to simulate backgrounds from natural and cosmogenic radionuclides, and calibration signals in solid-state detectors and their…

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

G. Angloher, S. Banik, A. Bento +54

Direct detection experiments have established the most stringent constraints on potential interactions between particle candidates for relic, thermal dark matter and Standard Model…
