Description

An improved SIMPLE experiment comprising four superheated droplet detectors with a total exposure of 0.42 kg.d yields ∼factor 10 improvement in the previously-reported results. Despite the low exposure, the result provides restrictions on the allowed phase space of spin-dependent coupling strengths almost equivalent to those from the significantly larger exposure NAIAD-CDMS/ZEPLIN searches
