Exclusion limits on the WIMP-nucleon scattering cross-section from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search
2000
Abstract The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) employs massive ionization- and phonon-mediated detectors to search for WIMPs via their elastic scattering interactions with nuclei while discriminating against interactions by other background particles. Limits on the WIMP-nucleon scattering cross-section, based on 3.1 kg d of exposure, exclude new parameter space in the 10–30 GeV WIMP mass region and also a portion of the region allowed by the DAMA annual modulation search (Bernabei, Phys. Lett. 450 (1999) 448).
