TL;DR: The results from the completed Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS II) experiment, which searched for dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP), cannot be interpreted with confidence as evidence for WIMP interactions, but neither event can be ruled out as representing signal.

TL;DR: A reanalysis of data from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS II) experiment using eight germanium detectors is reanalyzed with a lowered, 2 keV recoil-energy threshold to give increased sensitivity to interactions from weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with masses below ∼10 GeV/c(2).

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.
