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…
The SWEET project: probing sugar crystals for direct dark matter searches
A. Bento, F. Casadei, E. Cipelli +11
Several experiments searching for direct dark matter interactions aim to achieve unprecedented sensitivity to sub-GeV/c dark matter masses through elastic scattering with nucle…
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…
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…
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…
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…
