The CRESST experiment: recent results and perspectives — •Federica Petricca for the CRESST collaboration — Max-Planck-Institut für Physik, Föhringer Ring 6, 80805 München, Germany

CRESST is a WIMP dark matter search where combined phonon and light signals from scintillating CaWO4 cryogenic detectors are used for active background suppression. During the last years the CRESST setup has been upgraded with a neutron shield, a 66 channel SQUID system, new wiring, new heater and bias electronics, a muon veto and a new DAQ. First results obtained after this major upgrade are presented.
