The SuperCDMS Experiment

Abstract

Nonluminous, nonbaryonic, weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) [1, 2] may constitute most of the matter in the universe [3]. WIMPs are expected to be in a roughly isothermal Galactic halo. They would interact elastically with nuclei, generating a recoil energy of a few tens of keV, at a rate ≾1 event kg⁻¹ d⁻¹ [2, 4, 5].
