New Results and Status of the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search
CDMS Collaboration
Direct Search for non-Baryonic Dark Matter in form of WIMPs
Nuclear Recoil Discrimination Ionization yield per unit recoil energy depends strongly on type of recoil
2 Detector Technologies
Site, Shield, and Cryostat
Current Data Run (Fall 1998 - Summer 1999)
BLIPs 3, 4, 5, and 6
Results from the Current Run
Additional Evidence that Events are Neutrons
Neutrons are likely created outside Muon Veto
Current CDMS Limits Starting to probe DAMA 90% allowed region
Comparison to WIMP models
Can We Reach the CDMS Sensitivity Goals?
Future Plans
Conclusions
