The identity of dark matter is a question of central importance in both astrophysics and
particle physics. In the past, the leading particle candidates were cold and collisionless, and …

We report the final results of the Phase II SIMPLE measurements, comprising two run stages
of 15 superheated droplet detectors each, with the second stage including an improved …

The EDELWEISS-II Collaboration has completed a direct search for WIMP dark matter with
an array of ten 400-g cryogenic germanium detectors in operation at the Laboratoire …

New limits are presented on the cross section for weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP)
nucleon scattering in the KIMS CsI (T ℓ) detector array at the Yangyang Underground …

We present the results of measurements demonstrating the efficiency of the EDELWEISS-III
array of cryogenic germanium detectors for direct dark matter searches. The experimental …

We report on a search for low-energy (E< 20 keV) WIMP-induced nuclear recoils using data
collected in 2009–2010 by EDELWEISS from four germanium detectors equipped with …

We present new constraints on the couplings of axions and more generic axion-like particles
using data from the EDELWEISS-II experiment. The EDELWEISS experiment, located at the …

Many experiments that aim at the direct detection of dark matter are able to distinguish a
dominant background from the expected feeble signals, based on some measured …

Superconducting detectors have become an important tool in experimental astroparticle
physics, which seeks to provide a fundamental understanding of the Universe. In particular …

This review discusses detector physics and Monte Carlo techniques for cryogenic, radiation
detectors that utilize combined phonon and ionization readout. A general review of …
