| Abstract: | Results from the last run of the CRESST experiment, with 730 kg-days, are discussed. The question of verifying a positive signal in general for such low background experiments is examined. A comparison with different target materials can help to distinguish a true signal from unsuspected backgrounds. |
| Speaker: | Leo Stodolsky - MPI-Munich
 Dr Stodolsky earned his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, working on a model of Delta baryon production, with J.J. Sakurai as advisor. He spent several years at SLAC in late 60's, and moved to the Max-Planck Institute in 1973 as Director of the theory department. He is now Director Emeritus, and remains active in theoretical and experimental cosmology and particle astrophysics, with particular interest in low temperature detectors, high energy gauge theories and decoherence in quantum mechanics.
