Status of the CRESST Dark Matter Search
J. Schmaler, G. Angloher, M. Bauer +38
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 dep…
Electron and Gamma Background in CRESST Detectors
R. F. Lang, G. Angloher, M. Bauer +39
The CRESST experiment monitors 300g CaWO_4 crystals as targets for particle interactions in an ultra low background environment. In this paper, we analyze the background spectra th…
Results on low mass WIMPs using an upgraded CRESST-II detector
CRESST Collaboration, G. Angloher, A. Bento +42
The CRESST-II cryogenic dark matter search aims for the detection of WIMPs via elastic scattering off nuclei in CaWO crystals. We present results from a low-threshold analysis…
Results from 730 kg days of the CRESST-II Dark Matter Search
G. Angloher, M. Bauer, I. Bavykina +33
The CRESST-II cryogenic Dark Matter search, aiming at detection of WIMPs via elastic scattering off nuclei in CaWO crystals, completed 730 kg days of data taking in 2011. We pr…
Composite CaWO4 Detectors for the CRESST-II Experiment
M. Kiefer, G. Angloher, M. Bauer +38
CRESST-II, standing for Cryogenic Rare Events Search with Superconducting Thermometers phase II, is an experiment searching for Dark Matter. In the LNGS facility in Gran Sasso, Ita…
Proceedings of the 1st International Workshop "Radiopure Scintillators for EURECA" (RPScint'2008)
E. Armengau, M. Bauer, I. Bavykina +56
Workshop RPSCINT'2008 was organized in Kyiv (Ukraine) on 9th and 10th September 2008. The idea was to bring together physicists, chemists, crystal scintillator experts and manufact…
The CRESST II Dark Matter Search
Leo Stodolsky, G. Angloher, M. Bauer +33
Direct Dark Matter detection with cryodetectors is briefly discussed, with particular mention of the possibility of the identification of the recoil nucleus. Preliminary results fr…
New Limits on Double Electron Capture of Ca and W
G. Angloher, M. Bauer, P. Bauer +53
We analyzed low-background data from the CRESST-II experiment with a total net exposure of 730 kg days to extract limits on double electron capture processes. We established new li…
Discrimination of Recoil Backgrounds in Scintillating Calorimeters
R. F. Lang, G. Angloher, M. Bauer +38
The alpha decay of $\n{{}^{210}Po}$ is a dangerous background to rare event searches. Here, we describe observations related to this alpha decay in the Cryogenic Rare Event Search…
Commissioning Run of the CRESST-II Dark Matter Search
G. Angloher, M. Bauer, I. Bavykina +40
The CRESST cryogenic direct dark matter search at Gran Sasso, searching for WIMPs via nuclear recoil, has been upgraded to CRESST-II by several changes and improvements.We present…
Scintillator Non-Proportionality and Gamma Quenching in CaWO4
R. F. Lang, G. Angloher, M. Bauer +38
We measure and explain scintillator non-proportionality and gamma quenching of CaWO4 at low energies and low temperatures. Phonons that are created following an interaction in the…
Interpretation of Light-Quenching Factor Measurements
I. Bavykina, P. Christ, P. Huff +4
We observe that the pattern of the quenching factors for scintillation light from various ions, recently studied in in connection with dark matter detectors, can be unders…
