Abstract
We present results on WIMP dark matter interaction, obtained using cryogenic phonon-scintillation detectors. The targets are CaWO4 scintillating crystals with phonon sensors, while scintillation is detected with an associated cryogenic light detector. The combination of phonon and light signals leads to a strong suppression of nonnuclear recoil backgrounds. Results obtained before the upgrade of CRESST are presented and a status report on the upgrade itself is given.
