Description of CRESST-II data
Abstract
In Phase 2 of CRESST-II 18 detector modules were operated for about two years (July 2013 - August 2015). Together with this document we are publishing data from two detector modules which have been used for direct dark-matter searches. With these data-sets we were able to set world-leading limits on the cross section for spin-independent elastic scattering of dark matter particles off nuclei. We publish the energies of all events within the acceptance regions for dark-matter searches. In addition, we also publish the energies of the events within the electron-recoil band. This data set can be used to study interactions with electrons of CaWO. In this document we describe how to use these data sets. In particular, we explain the cut-survival probabilities required for comparisons of models with the data sets.
