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…
Critical revision of the ZEPLIN-I sensitivity to WIMP interactions
A. Benoit, M. Chapellier, G. Chardin +10
The ZEPLIN collaboration has recently published its first result presenting a maximum sensitivity of picobarn for a WIMP mass of 60 GeV. The analysis…
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…
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…
