With the CRESST Experiment,
physicists from around Europe are searching for
a new form of matter, the Dark Matter.
This is believed to be the missing matter of the universe.
To search for this matter, novel detecion methods
operating at very low temperatures have been developed. Find out more
about this exciting field at the cutting-edge of particle physics and cosmology,
its applications in other fields of science or have a
look at our latest publications. If you have any questions
or inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Status
Currently, the experiment, located
at the Gran Sasso underground
laboratory in Italy is being upgraded.
The latest setup contained 17
detector modules, which partly also implemented new
detector technologies and concepts in order to
further increase the sensitivity of the
experiment. The results of that run can be found here .
