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…

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…

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…

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…
