Improved EDELWEISS-III sensitivity for low-mass WIMPs using a profile likelihood approach

We report on a dark matter search for a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) in the mass range mx ∈ [4; 30] GeV/c^2 with the EDELWEISS-III experiment. A 2D profile likelihood analysis is performed on data from eight selected detectors with the lowest energy thresholds leading to a combined fi...
