Results from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) Experiment |
|
Abstract |
The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) experiment is designed to search for Dark Matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). CDMS detectors, based on Ge or Si substrates with ionization and phonon sensors, provide very effective event-by-event rejection of the dominant photon and electron backgrounds. Such background rejection, combined with operation at a deep site at the Soudan Underground Laboratory, has led to an upper limit on the WIMP-nucleon elastic scattering cross-section. We report on the latest results from the CDMS II experiment. |
