Abstract

In August 2015 the direct dark matter search CRESST-II finished its second extensive data taking campaign (phase 2), after more than two years of measurement time. We present a preliminary analysis of a small data set of a single detector module called Lise. This detector features a threshold of 0.3 keV which is the lowest value for all detectors operated in phase 2. We show that the performance of this detector allows to efficiently make use of the low detection threshold providing high potential for a substantial gain in sensitivity in the regime of low dark matter particle masses.
