Limits on the Wimp-nucleon Cross-section from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search
The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) employs Ge and Si detectors to search for WIMPs via their elastic-scattering interactions with nuclei while discriminating against interactions of background particles. CDMS I data, from the Stanford Underground Facility shallow site, give limits on the spin-independent WIMPnucleon elastic-scattering cross-section that exclude unexplored parameter space a...
متن کاملResults from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search at Soudan Underground Laboratory
We present results from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search at Soudan Underground Laboratory for two-tower arrays of detector. Twelve detectors were operated from March 25 to August 8, 2004, or 74.5 detector live days. Within expected background, no statistically significant indication of a WIMP signal was observed. Based on this null observation and combined with our previous results, we exclude ...
متن کاملLimits on WIMP–nucleon interactions from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search at the Soudan Underground Laboratory
We present the results of the first two data runs of the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search at Soudan Underground Laboratory. These data exclude substantial new parameter space for both spin-independent and spin-dependent WIMP–nucleon interactions within the standard halo model. r 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملCryogenic Dark Matter Search: limits and projections
The results from the second run of the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment in the Soudan Underground Laboratory yields new exclusion limits on the coherent WIMPnucleon scalar cross-sections for WIMP masses above 15 GeV/c. Two towers, each consisting of six detectors, were operated in the mine for 74.5 live days, doubling the previous Ge exposure to 34 kg-d after cuts for recoil energies of ...
متن کاملLimits on spin-independent interactions of weakly interacting massive particles with nucleons from the two-tower run of the cryogenic dark matter search.
We report new results from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS II) at the Soudan Underground Laboratory. Two towers, each consisting of six detectors, were operated for 74.5 live days, giving spectrum-weighted exposures of 34 (12) kg d for the Ge (Si) targets after cuts, averaged over recoil energies 10-100 keV for a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) mass of 60 GeV/c2. A blind analy...
متن کاملFirst results from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search in the Soudan Underground Laboratory.
We report the first results from a search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) in the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment at the Soudan Underground Laboratory. Four Ge and two Si detectors were operated for 52.6 live days, providing 19.4 kg d of Ge net exposure after cuts for recoil energies between 10 and 100 keV. A blind analysis was performed using only calibration data to de...
