Identification of backgrounds in the EDELWEISS-I dark matter search experiment
S. Fiorucci, A. Benoit, L. Berge +36
This paper presents our interpretation and understanding of the different backgrounds in the EDELWEISS-I data sets. We analyze in detail the several populations observed, which inc…
Measurement of the response of heat-and-ionization germanium detectors to nuclear recoils
A. Benoit, L. Berge, J. Blumer +34
The heat quenching factor Q' (the ratio of the heat signals produced by nuclear and electron recoils of equal energy) of the heat-and-ionization germanium bolometers used by the ED…
Final results of the EDELWEISS-I dark matter search with cryogenic heat-and-ionization Ge detectors
V. Sanglard, A. Benoit, L. Berge +40
The final results of the EDELWEISS-I dark matter search using cryogenic heat-and-ionization Ge detectors are presented. The final data sample corresponds to an increase by a factor…
Sensitivity of the EDELWEISS WIMP search to spin-dependent interactions
A. Benoit, L. Berge, J. Bluemer +35
The EDELWEISS collaboration is searching for WIMP dark matter using natural Ge cryogenic detectors. The whole data set of the first phase of the experiment contains a fiducial expo…
Calibration of the EDELWEISS Cryogenic Heat-and-ionisation Germanium Detectors for Dark Matter Search
The EDELWEISS Collaboration, O. Martineau, A. Benoit +34
Several aspects of the analysis of the data obtained with the cryogenic heat-and-ionisation Ge detectors used by the EDELWEISS dark matter search experiment are presented. Their ca…
SICANE: a Detector Array for the Measurement of Nuclear Recoil Quenching Factors using Monoenergetic Neutron Beam
E. Simon, L. Berge, A. Broniatowski +12
SICANE is a neutron scattering multidetector facility for the determination of the quenching factor (ratio of the response to nuclear recoils and to electrons) of cryogenic detecto…
Improved Exclusion Limits from the EDELWEISS WIMP Search
A. Benoit, L. Berge, A. Broniatowski +32
The EDELWEISS experiment has improved its sensitivity for the direct search for WIMP dark matter. In the recoil energy range relevant for WIMP masses below 10 TeV/c2, no nuclear re…
First Results of the EDELWEISS WIMP Search using a 320 g Heat-and-Ionization Ge Detector
A. Benoit, L. Berge, A. Broniatowski +28
The EDELWEISS collaboration has performed a direct search for WIMP dark matter using a 320 g heat-and-ionization cryogenic Ge detector operated in a low-background environment in t…
Dark Matter Search in the EDELWEISS experiment
A. Juillard, A. Benoit, L. Berge +33
The EDELWEISS Dark Matter Search uses low-temperature Ge detectors with heat and ionisation read-out to identify nuclear recoils induced by elastic collisions with WIMPs from the g…
Dark Matter Search in the Edelweiss Experiment
M. Chapellier, A. Benoit, L. Berge +31
Preliminary results obtained with 320g bolometers with simultaneous ionization and heat measurements are described. After a few weeks of data taking, data accumulated with one of t…
