Description

I will present the search for WIMP interactions with the final data collected by the CDMSII experiment. CDMS has pioneered the use of ionization and athermal phonon signals to discriminate between candidate (nuclear recoil) and background (electron recoil) events in Ge crystals cooled to ~ 50 mK. Our timing, yield, and position information allows us to maximize our discovery potential by adjusting the expected background in the signal region to less than one event. The analyzed dataset consists of ~600 kg-days of raw exposure. I will report on the blind analysis of this dataset, the significance of the results and the implications for future dark matter direct detection experiments.
