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, detectors
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.

StatusThe experiment, located
at the Gran Sasso underground
laboratory in Italy, has operated 13 detector modules in CRESST-III Phase 1 (2016-2018). With the
implementation of new detector
technologies and
concepts, the sensitivity of the experiment is significantly increased, especially for light dark matter particles. Currently, the collaboration is preparing CRESST-III Phase 2.
