| dc.description.abstract | The CDMS and EDELWEISS collaborations have combined the results of their direct searches for dark matter using cryogenic germanium detectors. The total data set represents 614 kg·days equivalent exposure. A straightforward method of combination was chosen for its simplicity before data were exchanged between experiments. The results are interpreted in terms of limits on spin-independent weakly interacting, massive particle (WIMP)-nucleon cross section. For a WIMP mass of 90 GeV/c[superscript 2], where this analysis is most sensitive, a cross section of 3.3×10[superscript -44] cm[superscript 2] is excluded at 90% C.L. At higher WIMP masses, the combination improves the individual limits, by a factor 1.6 above 700 GeV/c[superscript 2]. Alternative methods of combining the data provide stronger constraints for some ranges of WIMP masses and weaker constraints for others. | en_US |
