SIMPLE dark matter search results
Résumé
We report an improved SIMPLE experiment comprising four superheated droplet detectors with a total exposure of 0.42 kgd. The result yields similar to factor 10 improvement in the previously-reported results, and-despite the low exposure-is seen to provide restrictions on the allowed phase space of spin-dependent coupling strengths almost equivalent to those from the significantly larger exposure NAIAD-CDMS/ZEPLIN searches.
