How it works ½ mwimpv2 ~ 25 kev Measure phonons and ionizations CDMS I: Stanford Tunnel
1334 Photons (external source) 233 Electrons (tagged contamination) 616 Neutrons (external source) CDMS Background Discrimination • Measure simultaneously the phonons and the ionization created by the interactions. • High sensitivity • Discrimination • Ionization Yield (ionization energy per unit recoil energy) depends strongly on type of recoil • Most background sources (photons, electrons, alphas) produce electron recoils • Electron recoils near detector surface result in reduced ionization yield • WIMPs (and neutrons) produce nuclear recoils • Detectors provide near-perfect event-by-event discrimination against otherwise dominant bulk electron-recoil backgrounds, very good (>95%) againstsurface electron-recoil backgrounds
Shared-Electrode • 4.6 kg-days for WIMPs • 10 nuclear-recoil candidates > 10 keV • Inner-Electrode • 12.4 kg-days for WIMPs (≠ 10.7 better efficiencies) • 13 nuclear-recoil candidates > 10 keV • 4 multiples: They are not WIMPs but neutrons all single-scatters nuclear recoil candidates NR Band (-3s,+1.28s) 90% eff. NR Band (-3s,+1.28s) 90% efficient CDMS I Enlargement of Sample
Enlarged sample • Close to expected sensitivity • (we have that we were lucky • with the first sample • because of anomalously • high number of multiples) • Tests of various assumptions • • Our story is stable • Small statistics fluctuations • • Still strong disagreement • with DAMA • • Still best at low mass • • We temporarily • lost the “lead” • at high mass • <= CDMSII focus Results (to be send soon to PRD)
CDMS I->II • Go deep underground (Soudan Mine) • Athermal phonon technology • Even better rejection of background • Increase the mass -> 7kg • Approved in January 2000
Soudan Installation • Takes much longer than we would like • Historically two obstacles: Institutional • Fridge commissioning problems • 1) Institutional • How to build enclosures in a university laboratory, without direct participation from within? • Bureaucratic nightmare ( Building code, DOE) • Difficulties subcontracting through University of Minnesota • Some interference with MINOS construction • Needed enclosures are essentially finished but nearly one year after our initial hope. However, our major accomplishment was learning to work around these difficulties. They did not have much impact on our schedule.

Conclusions • CDMS I remains the most sensitive WIMP search at low mass • CDMS II well under way • Soudan tower 1 exceeds specifications. • Our measured background level* rejection shows that we should reach the sensitivity we claim. • Impressive validation of our ZIP concept and our fabrication/testing techniques • We are systematically addressing detector yield issues • All other systems are in line • Enclosures at Soudan are ready and we will move electronics in the Spring • We are aggressively addressing our “slow” temperature physics problem • First dark this summer! • The sensitivity gains in the first month should be spectacular • We should decisively enter the Supersymmetry domain

The highest energy cosmic rays should point back to possible sources (D < 50 Mpc)
