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…
Limits on the Macho Content of the Galactic Halo from the EROS-2 Survey of the Magellanic Clouds
P. Tisserand, L. Le Guillou, C. Afonso +35
The EROS-2 project was designed to test the hypothesis that massive compact halo objects (the so-called ``machos'') could be a major component of the dark matter halo of the Milky…
Galactic Bulge Microlensing Optical Depth from EROS-2
C. Hamadache, L. Le Guillou, P. Tisserand +34
We present a new EROS-2 measurement of the microlensing optical depth toward the Galactic Bulge. Light curves of clump-giant stars distributed over of t…
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…
Type Ia supernova rate at a redshift of ~ 0.1
G. Blanc, C. Afonso, C. Alard +58
We present the type Ia rate measurement based on two EROS supernova search campaigns (in 1999 and 2000). Sixteen supernovae identified as type Ia were discovered. The measurement o…
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…
