Abstract

A side-to-side comparison is established between the nuclear recoil energy spectrum from CDMS germanium bolometers and its low-energy equivalent for events in the inner bulk volume of a CoGeNT germanium diode. Acknowledging the orthogonality of the background cuts possible with each type of detector and following an examination of the uncertainties in these searches, a suggestive agreement between these spectra is observed.
