Description
CRESST-III (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers) installed at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, is looking to directly detect dark matter particles scattering off CaWO4 target nuclei in cryogenic detectors. Thanks to its energy threshold O(30 eV), CRESST-III is particularly suitable in probing sub-GeV DM masses. This contribution presents an overview of CRESST-III, reporting the latest DM results and plans for the future. Recent achievements are discussed on the Low Energy Excess (LEE), an unexplained rise of events at low energies (<200 eV). The most recent experimental campaign, using the Double TES approach to identify the origin of LEE and reject this background, is also discussed.
