TL;DR: In this paper, a blind analysis of 140.2 kg data taken between July 2007 and September 2008 revealed three WIMP-candidate events with a surface event background estimate of 0.41 and 0.08 events at the 90% confidence level, respectively.

TL;DR: This Letter presents WIMP-search results using a calorimetric technique the authors call CDMSlite, which relies on voltage-assisted Luke-Neganov amplification of the ionization energy deposited by particle interactions to constrain new WIMp-nucleon spin-independent parameter space for W IMP masses below 6 GeV/c2.

TL;DR: SuperCDMS SNOLAB as discussed by the authors is a next-generation experiment aimed at directly detecting low-mass particles (with masses ≤ 10 GeV/c^2) that may constitute dark matter by using cryogenic detectors of two types (HV and iZIP) and two target materials (germanium and silicon).
