G4CMP: Condensed Matter Physics Simulation Using the Geant4 Toolkit
M. H. Kelsey, R. Agnese, Y. F. Alam +44
G4CMP simulates phonon and charge transport in cryogenic semiconductor crystals using the Geant4 toolkit. The transport code is capable of simulating the propagation of acoustic ph…
Improved WIMP-search reach of the CDMS II germanium data
R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, M. Asai +86
CDMS II data from the 5-tower runs at the Soudan Underground Laboratory were reprocessed with an improved charge-pulse fitting algorithm. Two new analysis techniques to reject surf…
Dark matter effective field theory scattering in direct detection experiments
K. Schneck, B. Cabrera, D. G. Cerdeno +84
We examine the consequences of the effective field theory (EFT) of dark matter-nucleon scattering for current and proposed direct detection experiments. Exclusion limits on EFT cou…
Maximum Likelihood Analysis of Low Energy CDMS II Germanium Data
SuperCDMS Collaboration, R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson +84
We report on the results of a search for a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) signal in low-energy data of the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS~II) experiment using a max…
First direct limits on Lightly Ionizing Particles with electric charge less than
R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, D. Balakishiyeva +82
While the Standard Model of particle physics does not include free particles with fractional charge, experimental searches have not ruled out their existence. We report results fro…
Semiconductor phonon and charge transport Monte Carlo simulation using Geant4
