Limits on WIMP dark matter using sapphire cryogenic detectors
NUCL PHYS B-PROC SUP 124 (2003) 189-192
Abstract:
Data taken by CRESST with a cryogenic detector system based on 262 g sapphire crystals has been used to place limits on WIMP dark matter. The experiment was especially sensitive for low-mass WIMPs with spin-dependent cross sections and improves on existing limits in this region.CRESST DARK MATTER SEARCH

Abstract:
Results of the CRESST experiment at Gran Sasso using 262-g sapphire calorimeters with tungsten phase transition thermometers are presented. Calibration and analysis methods are described. Data taken in 2000 have been used to place limits on WIMP dark matter particles in the Galactic halo. The sapphire defectors are especially sensitive to low-mass WIMPs with spin-dependent interaction and improve on existing limits in this region.
