CRESST is an experiment for the direct detection of dark matter (WIMPs) via nuclear recoil measurements on a CaWO4 crystal. Different quenching factors for the nuclei allow the discrimination between background and a possible signal. To measure the quenching factors at low temperatures, a neutron scattering facility has been set up at the Maier-Leibnitz-Laboratorium in Garching. In 2007 a cryostat was installed and first measurements were performed. For further optimization and to allow flight-time measurements at a fixed scattering angle, the complete data-acquisition hardware and software has been updated. We report on first results and ongoing upgrades.

This work has been supported by funds of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG (Transregio 27: Neutrinos and Beyond), the Munich Cluster of Excellence (Origin and Structure of the Universe) and the Maier-Leibnitz-Laboratorium (Garching).
