Results from a low-energy analysis of the CDMS II germanium data.
We report results from a reanalysis of data from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS II) experiment at the Soudan Underground Laboratory. Data taken between October 2006 and September 2008 using eight germanium detectors are reanalyzed with a lowered, 2 keV recoil-energy threshold, to give increased sensitivity to interactions from weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with masses bel...

The CDMS-II experiment operates 19 germanium detectors with a mass of 250g each in a very low background environment. Originally designed for the search for Dark Matter the experiment can also detect solar axions by Primakoff conversion to photons. The Bragg condition for Xray momentum transfer in a crystal allows for coherent amplification of the Primakoff process. Since the orientation of the...

متن کاملRecent results from the CDMS-II experiment
The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment (CDMS) employs low-temperature Ge and Si detectors to detect WIMPs via their elastic scattering interaction with the target nuclei. The current analysis of 397.8 kg-days Ge exposure resulted in zero observed candidate events, setting an upper limit on the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross-section of 6.6× 10 cm (4.6× 10 cm, when previous CDMS Soudan ...
متن کاملA Testing Strategy for the Mass Production of CDMS II Detectors
The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) employs detectors which are capable of simultaneously measuring the ionization and phonon energies deposited by a particle collision. These detectors are 1-cm-thick, 7-cm-diameter crystals of either germanium or silicon with a thin film of aluminum and tungsten patterned on the surface. This presentation discusses the testing regimen that a typical CDMS d...
متن کاملFrom CDMS to SuperCDMS
The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) and SuperCDMS experiments seek hypothetical weakly-interacting, massive particles (WIMPs) that could account for the majority of matter in the Universe, by means of cryogenic germanium detectors. We provide an update on the status of the SuperCDMS experiment, and discuss the joint CDMS-EDELWEISS analysis.
