| Popis: | Artículo escrito por un elevado número de autores, solo se referencian el que aparece en primer lugar, el nombre del grupo de colaboración, si le hubiere, y los autores pertenecientes a la UAM We report results of a search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with the Si detectors of the CDMS II experiment. This report describes a blind analysis of the first data taken with CDMS II’s full complement of detectors in 2006–2007; results from this exposure using the Ge detectors have already been presented. We observed no candidate WIMP-scattering events in an exposure of 55.9 kg-days before analysis cuts, with an expected background of ˞1.1 events. The exposure of this analysis is equivalent to 10.3 kg-days over a recoil energy range of 7–100 keV for an ideal Si detector and a WIMP mass of 10 GeV/c2. These data set an upper limit of 1.7 x 10-41 cm2 on the WIMP-nucleon spin-independent cross section of a 10 GeV/c2 WIMP. These data exclude parameter space for spin-independent WIMP-nucleon elastic scattering that is relevant to recent searches for low-mass WIMPs This work is supported in part by the National Science Foundation (Grants No. AST-9978911, No. NSF-1102795, No. PHY- 0847342, No. PHY-0542066, No. PHY-0503729, No. PHY- 0503629, No. PHY-0503641, No. PHY-0504224, No. PHY-0705052, No. PHY-0801708, No. PHY-0801712, No. PHY-0802575, No. PHY-0847342, No. PHY-0855299, No. PHY-0855525, No. PHY-1151869, and No. PHY- 1205898), by the Department of Energy (Contracts No. DE-AC03-76SF00098, No. DE-FG02-92ER40701, No. DE-FG03-90ER40569, No. DE-FG03-91ER40618, and No. DE-SC0004022), by the Swiss National Foundation (SNF Grant No. 20-118119), by NSERC Canada (Grants No. SAPIN 341314 and No. SAPPJ 386399), and by MULTIDARK CSD2009-00064 and FPA2012-34694.
