Abstract
"Recent Results from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search Experiment"

I will discuss the very recently announced results from the CDMS (Cryogenic
Dark Matter Search @ Berkeley/Stanford) Experiment. The experiment is involved
in looking for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles that may be the dominant
Cold Dark Matter component in the Universe. The creation of these particles ~
1 ns after the Big Bang at cosmologically interesting abundances is well
motivated by Supersymmetry. The DAMA experiment now identifies a 4 sigma
positive signal for WIMPs. In contrast the CDMS experiment, which is now more
sensitive to scalar coupled WIMPs than DAMA, reports no signal at the same
level.
