CRESST - Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers

CRESST searches for Dark Matter using detectors which are operated at extremely low temperatures, where WIMP interactions can heat up the detectors strong enough in order to be detected. On these pages you can learn why and how this is done.

Here is an overview over the content:

Basic Principles

Cryodetection in General

Dilution Refrigerators

The Experiment
