Results from the Final Exposure of the CDMS II Experiment

The CDMS Collaboration, Z. Ahmed

We report results from a blind analysis of the final data taken with the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment (CDMS II) at the Soudan Underground Laboratory, Minnesota, USA. A t…

An Upper Limit on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background of Cosmological Origin

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration

A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of a large number of unresolved gravitational-wave sources of astrophysical and cosmologica…

Gravity-Gradient Subtraction in 3rd Generation Underground Gravitational-Wave Detectors in Homogeneous Media

Jan Harms, Riccardo DeSalvo, Steven Dorsher +1

In this paper, we develop a new approach to gravity-gradient noise subtraction for underground gravitational-wave detectors in homogeneous rock. The method is based on spatial harm…

Probing the anisotropies of a stochastic gravitational-wave background using a network of ground-based laser interferometers

Eric Thrane, Stefan Ballmer, Joseph D. Romano +4

We present a maximum-likelihood analysis for estimating the angular distribution of power in an anisotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background using ground-based laser interf…

Simulation of underground gravity gradients from stochastic seismic fields

Jan Harms, Riccardo DeSalvo, Steven Dorsher +1

We present results obtained from a finite-element simulation of seismic displacement fields and of gravity gradients generated by those fields. The displacement field is constructe…

Analysis of the low-energy electron-recoil spectrum of the CDMS experiment

Z. Ahmed, D. S. Akerib, S. Arrenberg +54

We report on the analysis of the low-energy electron-recoil spectrum from the CDMS II experiment using data with an exposure of 443.2 kg-days. The analysis provides details on the…
