TL;DR: The first search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) using the background rejection capabilities of SuperCDMS was reported in this article, where an exposure of 577 kg days was analyzed for WIMPs with mass <30 ǫ, with the signal region blinded.

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: Results of a search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPS) with the silicon detectors of the CDMS II experiment revealed three WIMP-candidate events with a surface-event background estimate of 0.41, with a profile likelihood ratio test giving a 0.19% probability for the known-background-only hypothesis when tested against the alternative WIMp+background hypothesis.

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).
