Understand

An unbinned maximum likelihood analysis of CDMS low-energy data reveals a strong preference (5.7 sigma C.L.) for a model containing an exponential excess of events in the nuclear recoil band, when compared to the null hypothesis.

We comment on the possible origin of such an excess, establishing a comparison with anomalies in other dark matter experiments.
A recent annual modulation search in CDMS data is shown to be insufficiently sensitive to test a dark matter origin for this excess.
