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…

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…

CDMSlite: A Search for Low-Mass WIMPs using Voltage-Assisted Calorimetric Ionization Detection in the SuperCDMS Experiment

R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, M. Asai +77

SuperCDMS is an experiment designed to directly detect Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), a favored candidate for dark matter ubiquitous in the Universe. In this paper,…

A prototype low-background multiwire proportional chamber for measuring alphas and low-energy betas

Z. Ahmed, M. A. Bowles, R. Bunker +9

A prototype multiwire proportional chamber (MWPC) was developed to demonstrate the feasibility of constructing a radiopure time projection chamber with MWPC track readout to assay…
