Combined Limits on WIMPs from the CDMS and EDELWEISS Experiments
CDMS, EDELWEISS Collaborations, : +114
The CDMS and EDELWEISS collaborations have combined the results of their direct searches for dark matter using cryogenic germanium detectors. The total data set represents 614 kg.d…
First results of the EDELWEISS-II WIMP search using Ge cryogenic detectors with interleaved electrodes
E. Armengaud, C. Augier, A. Benoit +41
The EDELWEISS-II collaboration has performed a direct search for WIMP dark matter with an array of ten 400 g heat-and-ionization cryogenic detectors equipped with interleaved elect…
A new high-background-rejection dark matter Ge cryogenic detector
A. Broniatowski, X. Defay, E. Armengaud +40
A new design of a cryogenic germanium detector for dark matter search is presented, taking advantage of the coplanar grid technique of event localisation for improved background di…
Final results of the EDELWEISS-II WIMP search using a 4-kg array of cryogenic germanium detectors with interleaved electrodes
EDELWEISS Collaboration, E. Armengaud, C. Augier +49
The EDELWEISS-II collaboration has completed a direct search for WIMP dark matter with an array of ten 400-g cryogenic germanium detectors in operation at the Laboratoire Souterrai…
Background studies for the EDELWEISS dark matter experiment
E. Armengaud, C. Augier, A. Benoît +55
The EDELWEISS-II collaboration has completed a direct search for WIMP dark matter using cryogenic Ge detectors (400 g each) and 384 kgdays of effective exposure. A cross-se…
Monitoring of the thermal neutron flux in the LSM underground laboratory
S. Rozov, E. Armengaud, C. Augier +42
This paper describes precise measurements of the thermal neutron flux in the LSM underground laboratory in proximity of the EDELWEISS-II dark matter search experiment together with…
The Plateau de Bure Neutron Monitor: design, operation and Monte-Carlo simulation
S. Semikh, S. Serre, J. L. Autran +4
This paper describes the Plateau de Bure Neutron Monitor (PdBNM), an instrument providing continuous ground-level measurements of atmospheric secondary neutron flux resulting from…
A detection system to measure muon-induced neutrons for direct Dark Matter searches
V. Yu. Kozlov, E. Armengaud, C. Augier +41
Muon-induced neutrons constitute a prominent background component in a number of low count rate experiments, namely direct searches for Dark Matter. In this work we describe a neut…
