Abstract: (arXiv)
In CRESST-III, 10 cryogenic detector modules optimized for low energy thresholds were operated for almost two years (May 2016 - February 2018). Together with this document we are publishing data from the best performing detector module which has a nuclear recoil threshold of 30.1eV. With this data-set we were able to set limits on the cross-section for spin-dependent and spin-independent elastic scattering of dark matter particles off nuclei at dark matter masses down to 160MeV/c2^2. We publish the energies of all events after data selection as well as of all events within the acceptance region for dark-matter searches. In this document we describe how to use these data sets.
