TL;DR: The CRESST-II cryogenic Dark Matter search, aiming at detection of WIMPs via elastic scattering off nuclei in CaWO4 crystals, completed 730 kg days of data taking in 2011 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results from a low-threshold analysis of a single upgraded detector module, which efficiently vetoes low energy backgrounds induced by $$\alpha $$¯¯ -decays on inner surfaces of the detector.

TL;DR: The CRESST cryogenic direct dark matter search at Gran Sasso, searching for WIMPs via nuclear recoil as discussed by the authors, has been upgraded with a new detector support structure capable of accommodating 33 modules, the associated multichannel readout with 66 SQUID channels, a neutron shield, a calibration source lift and the installation of a muon veto.

TL;DR: In this paper, solar neutrinos can be used as a background source for direct dark matter search experiments using Ge, Ar, Xe and CaWO4 as target materials.

TL;DR: The European Underground Rare Event Calorimeter Array (EURECA) project as discussed by the authors is a project aiming at searching for dark matter particles using cryogenic bolometers, with the first stage achieving a sensitivity of 3. 10−10 pb and the second stage achieving 2.5 pb.
