Abstract:

The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) is searching for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) with low-temperature detectors that have the ability to discriminate between candidate (nuclear recoil) and background (electron recoil) events with extremely high accuracy. In behalf of the CDMS collaboration, I'll preset new results from the most recent WIMP search data acquired during CDMSII full 30 detectors run at Soudan underground laboratory. After describing CDMS detection and background rejection techniques, I'll open the WIMP signal region in the CDMS parameter space and discuss the results. I will give a quick update on the current status of dark matter direct detection field and will present the CDMS future plans and perspective towards larger mass Ionization-phonon detectors.
