"SuperCDMS Data Reveals Stricter Detection Limits for Dark Matter"

TL;DR Summary
The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) collaboration has conducted a reanalysis of previously published experimental data, focusing on two potential avenues for inelastic collisions of dark matter particles: Bremsstrahlung radiation and the Migdal effect. By considering the Earth's atmosphere and inner composition, the analysis sets tighter limits on dark matter detection and expands the range of particle masses the experiment is sensitive to. Although no evidence of dark matter interactions was found, the study represents one of the most sensitive searches for ultralight dark matter and provides valuable insights for future research.
