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…

Removal of long-lived Rn daughters by electropolishing thin layers of stainless steel

R. W. Schnee, M. A. Bowles, R. Bunker +5

Long-lived alpha and beta emitters in the Rn decay chain on detector surfaces may be the limiting background in many experiments attempting to detect dark matter or neutrin…

Construction and measurements of a vacuum-swing-adsorption radon-mitigation system

R. W. Schnee, R. Bunker, G. Ghulam +3

Long-lived alpha and beta emitters in the Rn decay chain on (and near) detector surfaces may be the limiting background in many experiments attempting to detect dark matter…

The BetaCage, an ultra-sensitive screener for surface contamination

R. Bunker, Z. Ahmed, M. A. Bowles +8

Material screening for identifying low-energy electron emitters and alpha-decaying isotopes is now a prerequisite for rare-event searches (e.g., dark-matter direct detection and ne…

Search for Low-Mass WIMPs with SuperCDMS

R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, M. Asai +92

We report a first search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) using the background rejection capabilities of SuperCDMS. An exposure of 577 kg-days was analyzed for WIMP…
