Figure 16: The upper panel shows the current results on the allowed coherent cross-section parameter
space. The plot is from [14] and shows the CDMS 3 upper limit [3] (dotted purple curve), the
DAMA annual modulation positive detection region (blue solid curve), the DAMA upper limit from
pulse shape discrimination (blue dot-dash curve), the EDELWEISS limits [14] (red curves) and the
current limits from all combined germanium ionisation detectors [70] (dashed green curve). The
lower panel shows an equivalent plot for the axial spin-dependent coupling cross-section. This is a
composite plot produced by the SIMPLE collaboration in announcing their latest result [38].
