Abstract
A cryogenic search for WIMP Dark Matter with small sapphire bolometers thro ugh the WIMP scattering off Al2O3 nuclei, the ROSEBUD (Rare Objects SEarch with Bolometers UndergrounD) experiment, is being installed in the Canfranc Underground Laboratory (Spain) at 2450 m water equivalent. The performance s of the bolometers, the radioactive background expected from the measureme nt of the radiopurity of the ROSEBUD components and the estimated sensitivi ty of the experiment for low mass WIMP detection are presented.
