Scientific paper

We are preparing the Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers (CRESST) experiment in the Gran Sasso National Laboratory, Italy, to search for dark Matter Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) using cryogenic detectors with superconducting phase transition thermometers. In the first stage of the experiment we plan to use four 262g sapphire detectors with thresholds of 0.5 keV and resolutions of .2 keV at 1 keV. This will provide sensitivity to WIMP masses below 10 GEV making our experiment complementary to other dark matter searches. In 1997 the installation in Gran Sasso was completed and first detector tests were made. Preparation of the low-background cold box is in progress.
