We report the result of a blinded search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) using the majority of the SuperCDMS Soudan data set. With an exposure of 1690 kg d, a single candidate event is observed, consistent with expected backgrounds. This analysis (combined with previous Ge results) sets an upper limit on the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross section of 1.4×10^{-44} (1.0×10^{-44}) cm^{2} at 46 GeV/c^{2}. These results set the strongest limits for WIMP-germanium-nucleus interactions for masses >12 GeV/c^{2}.
我们报告了一项使用SuperCDMS苏丹数据集的大部分数据对弱相互作用大质量粒子（WIMP）进行盲搜索的结果。在曝光量为1690千克·日的情况下，观察到一个候选事件，与预期背景相符。该分析（结合之前的锗结果）在46 GeV/c²时对自旋无关的WIMP-核子截面设定了1.4×10⁻⁴⁴（1.0×10⁻⁴⁴）平方厘米的上限。这些结果为质量大于12 GeV/c²的WIMP-锗核相互作用设定了最强限制。
