title = "Towards direct detection of WIMPs with the cryogenic dark matter search",
abstract = "The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) is carrying out a direct detection search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), one of the favored candidates for dark matter. Our latest data has placed some of the most stringent limits on the WIMP-nucleon spin-independent cross section of 6.6×10-44cm2 for 60 GeV WIMPs at the 90% confidence level. This paper describes our experiment and our latest results; the status of SuperCDMS Soudan, a new expriment at the Soudan mine in Minnesota that will achieve a sensitivity of 5×10-45cm2 our plans for SuperCDMS SNOLAB, a 100 kg experiment with a projected sensitivity of 3×10-46cm2; and GEODM, a ton-scale experiment at DUSEL with a projected sensitivity of 2×10-47cm2.",
