    Abstract:

    A status report on the CRESST (cryogenic rare event search with superconducting thermometers) experiment is given. Results obtained for phase I of the experiment using sapphire detectors are briefly reviewed. Subsequently, CRESST's recent activities are summarized, focusing on the preparation of CRESST phase II detector modules. These modules consist of a CaWO4 cryogenic scintillator combined with a very sensitive cryogenic light detector. These new detectors exhibit a very good discrimination capability between electron- and nuclear recoils. Progress in the development of optimized phase II modules for CRESST will be presented.
