Description
Summary:The CRESST experiment in its first phase is using sapphire detectors with tungsten phase transition thermometers to search for dark matter WIMPs. At present Four 262 g detectors are performing first measurements under low background conditions. Detector performance as well as preliminary results from the background runs are presented. A second phase of CRESST using CaWO4 and simultaneous measurement of phonons and scintillation light is in preparation. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
