Recent Results from the SIMPLE Dark Matter Search

preprint2005arXivOpen access

Abstract

SIMPLE is an experimental search for evidence of spin-dependent dark matter, based on superheated droplet detectors using C2_{2}ClF5_{5}. We report preliminary results of a 0.6 kgdy exposure of five one liter devices, each containing ∼\sim10 g active mass, in the 1500 mwe LSBB (Rustrel, France). In combination with improvements in detector sensitivity, the results exclude a WIMP--proton interaction above 5 pb at Mχ_χ = 50 GeV/c2^{2}.
