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…
Critical revision of the ZEPLIN-I sensitivity to WIMP interactions
A. Benoit, M. Chapellier, G. Chardin +10
The ZEPLIN collaboration has recently published its first result presenting a maximum sensitivity of picobarn for a WIMP mass of 60 GeV. The analysis…
Direct search for WIMP dark matter
J. Gascon
We will review the experimental aspects of the direct search for WIMP dark matter. In thin search, one looks in a terrestrial target for nuclear recoils produced by the impacts wit…
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…
