A cryogenic direct-detection search using scintillating crystal calorimeters. Calcium-tungstate modules measure deposited energy through phonons and compare a separate light signal to discriminate recoil populations. Oxygen, calcium and tungsten recoil differently for a given WIMP mass; a model fit must include their responses and backgrounds.[ref]
