  The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment (CDMS) employs low-temperature Ge
and Si detectors to detect WIMPs via their elastic scattering interaction with
the target nuclei. The current analysis of 397.8 kg-days Ge exposure resulted
in zero observed candidate events, setting an upper limit on the
spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross-section of 6.6 x 10^{-44} cm^2 (4.6 x
10^{-44} cm^2, when previous CDMS Soudan data is included) at the 90 %
confidence level for a WIMP mass of 60 GeV. To increase the sensitivity, new
one inch thick detectors have been developed which will be used in the
SuperCDMS phase. SuperCDMS 25kg will be operated at SNOLAB with an expected
sensitivity on the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon elastic scattering
cross-section of 1 x 10^{-45} cm^2.
