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…
Cosmic Ray Boosted Dark Matter in COSINUS: Modeling and Constraints
G. Angloher, M. R. Bharadwaj, A. Böhmer +41
Direct detection of nuclear recoils due to sub-GeV dark matter is challenging because of the small kinetic energy of the light dark matter particles. Although limits down to a few…
Defect Formation in NaI Crystals: A Novel Pathway to Dark Matter Detection
G. Angloher, M. R. Bharadwaj, A. Böhmer +44
Sodium iodide (NaI) is a widely used scintillator in direct dark matter searches. In particular, NaI-based cryogenic scintillating calorimeters have emerged as promising candidates…
Quenching factors for Na recoils as a function of Tl dopant concentrations in NaI(Tl) crystals
G. Angloher, M. R. Bharadwaj, A. Böhmer +51
Thallium-doped sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) scintillation detectors play an important role in the field of direct dark matter (DM) searches. The DAMA/LIBRA experiment stands out for its…
COSINUS model-independent sensitivity to the DAMA/LIBRA dark matter signal
G. Angloher, M. R. Bharadwaj, A. Böhmer +40
COSINUS is a dark matter direct detection experiment using NaI crystals as cryogenic scintillating calorimeters. If no signal is observed, this will constrain the dark matter scatt…
Description of CRESST-III lithium aluminate data
G. Angloher, S. Banik, G. Benato +58
Two detector modules with lithium aluminate targets were operated in the CRESST underground setup between February and June 2021. The data collected in this period was used to set…
