Direct dark matter search with the CRESST-III experiment - status and perspectives
Willers, M.; Angloher, G.; Bento, A.; Bucci, C.; Canonica, L; Defay, X; Erb, A.; Feilitzsch, F v; Iachellini, N Ferreiro; Gütlein, A.; Gorla, PThe CRESST-III experiment, located in the Gran Sasso underground laboratory (LNGS, Italy), aims at the direct detection of dark matter (DM) particles. Scintillating CaWO4 crystals operated as cryogenic detectors are used as target material for DM-nucleus scattering. The simultaneous measurement of the phonon signal from the CaWO4 crystal and of the emitted scintillation light in a separate cryogenic light detec...
Search for dark photons using data from CRESST-II Phase 2
Gütlein, A.; Angloher, G.; Bento, A.; Bucci, C.; Canonica, L.; Defay, X.; Erb, A.; Feilitzsch, F v; Iachellini, N Ferreiro; Gorla, P.; Hauff, D.Understanding the nature and origin of dark matter is one of the most important challenges for modern particle physics. During the previous decade the sensitivities of direct dark matter searches have improved by several orders of magnitude. These experiments focus their work mainly on the search for dark-matter particles interacting with nuclei (e.g. Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, WIMPs). However, there...
