dc.description.abstractCDMS II data from the five-tower runs at the Soudan Underground Laboratory were reprocessed with an improved charge-pulse fitting algorithm. Two new analysis techniques to reject surface-event backgrounds were applied to the 612 kg days germanium-detector weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP)-search exposure. An extended analysis was also completed by decreasing the 10 keV analysis threshold to ~5  keV, to increase sensitivity near a WIMP mass of 8  GeV/c[superscript 2]. After unblinding, there were zero candidate events above a deposited energy of 10 keV and six events in the lower-threshold analysis. This yielded minimum WIMP-nucleon spin-independent scattering cross-section limits of 1.8 × 10[superscript −44] and 1.18 × 10[superscript −41] at 90% confidence for 60 and 8.6  GeV/c[superscript 2] WIMPs, respectively. This improves the previous CDMS II result by a factor of 2.4 (2.7) for 60 (8.6)  GeV/c[superscript 2] WIMPs.en_US
