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…
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…
Optimum Acceptance Regions for Direct Dark Matter Searches
Rafael F. Lang
Most experiments that search for direct interactions of WIMP dark matter with a target can distinguish the dominant electronrecoil background from the nuclear recoil signal, based…
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…
Search for Dark Matter with CRESST
Rafael F. Lang, Wolfgang Seidel
The search for direct interactions of dark matter particles remains one of the most pressing challenges of contemporary experimental physics. A variety of different approaches is r…
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…
