The detector is especially sensitive for low-mass WIMPS with spin-dependent cross sections and improves on existing limits in this region. CRESST is now preparing for a second phase, which will use a 10 kg detector consisting of 300 g CaWO4 crystals with simultaneous detection of phonons and scintillation light to reduce background.23 pages, 15 figures, Paper contributed to the X International Symposium on Lepton and Photon Interactions at High Energies, 23rd-28th July 2001, Rome, ItalyAstrophysicstext
