Analysis of the low-energy electron-recoil spectrum of the CDMS experiment [PDF]

, 2009
We report on the analysis of the low-energy electron-recoil spectrum from the CDMS II experiment using data with an exposure of 443.2 kg-days. The analysis provides details on the observed counting rate and possible background sources in the energy range
