CRESST - Searching for Dark Matter

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.

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 .
