摘要
The CRESST Dark Matter Search aims to detect Dark Matter particles via their elastic scattering off nuclei in scintillating target crystals. A simultaneous measurement of a phonon and light signal allows to efficiently discriminate the dominant beta and gamma background from expected nuclear recoil signals. For a given light detector and reflector, it is the scintillation efficiency of the crystal which determines the lowest energy for which the active background discrimination is still efficient. Crystals with a higher light output therefore can improve the overall sensitivity of the experiment. In this context, measurements of the light yield of CsI (undoped) and CdWO4 crystals at milli-Kelvin temperature are presented. Furthermore we report on first results of measurements of these crystals in conventional CRESST configuration.
