Advancing the search for dark matter : from CDMS II to SuperCDMS
… experimental efforts: CDMS 11 (2007-2009) and SuperCDMS Soudan (ongoing). The general abilities and sensitivities of both experiments are laid out, placing a special emphasis on the detector technology, and how this technology has evolved from the first to the second experiment. Some topics on …

Light Dark Matter Constraints from a SuperCDMS Cryogenic Silicon Detector with Single-Charge Sensitivity
… of particles beyond the Standard Model. The SuperCDMS (Cryogenic Dark Matter Search) SNOLAB experiment is a next-generation direct detection effort using cryogenic germanium and silicon detectors to measure phonon and ionization signals from dark-matter recoils. It aims to improve sensitivity …

A search for light weakly-interacting massive particles with SuperCDMS and applications to neutrino physics
… describes the results of such a search with the SuperCDMS experiment, which uses Ge detectors cooled to 50 mK to detect ionization and phonons produced by particle interactions. We perform a blind analysis of 577 kg d of exposure on 7 detectors targeting WIMPs with masses < 30 GeV/c2 , where …

Calibration of Infrared Photons in Cryogenic Germanium Detectors
… Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment (SuperCDMS) is considered one of the pioneer experiments in the direct search for WIMPs. It is based primarily on deploying germanium and silicon detectors at cryogenic temperatures to search for direct WIMP-nucleus elastic scattering interaction …

Detector simulation and WIMP search analysis for the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment
… next iteration of the CDMS experiment, known as SuperCDMS. Finally, an investigation of using the DMC in a reverse Monte Carlo analysis of WIMP search data is presented. 140.23 kg-days of WIMP search data from the silicon detectors in the CDMSII experiment is also analyzed. The resulting upper …

High-energy Neutron Backgrounds for Underground Dark Matter Experiments
… backgrounds for the dark matter experiment SuperCDMS SNOLAB, an active neutron veto was developed. It is estimated that the current design of the neutron veto with a 40 cm thick layer of boron-doped liquid scintillator can achieve a >90% efficiency for tagging the single-scatter neutrons. In …

The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search low ionization-threshold experiment
… Dark Matter of mass O(10) GeV/c2. While the SuperCDMS experiment was probing the regular parameter space, the CDMSlite experiment was conceived to dedicatedly search for light Dark Matter using a novel technology. “CDMSlite” stands for CDMS - low ionization threshold experiment. Here we …
