An experimental particle physicist who coauthored CRESST experiment reports searching for dark matter. The 730 kg-day study used cryogenic crystals with two readout channels: phonons measured deposited energy, while particle scintillation helped classify the interacting particle. Candidate events were compared with explicit background models before being interpreted in a possible WIMP scenario.[ref]
