New limits on dark--matter WIMPs from the Heidelberg--Moscow experiment
arXiv:hep-ex/9811045 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.59.022001
Abstract
New results after 0.69 kg yr of measurement with an enriched 76Ge detector of the Heidelberg--Moscow experiment with an active mass of 2.758 kg are presented. An energy threshold of 9 keV and a background level of 0.042 counts/(kg d keV) in the energy region between 15 keV and 40 keV was reached.The derived limits on the WIMP--nucleon cross section are the most stringent limits on spin--independent interactions obtained to date by using essentially raw data without background subtraction.
