We report on several features in the energy spectrum from an ultralow-noise germanium detector operated deep underground. By implementing a new technique able to reject surface events, number of cosmogenic peaks can be observed for first time. discuss irreducible excess bulklike events below 3 keV ionization energy. These could caused by unknown backgrounds, but also dark matter interactions consistent with DAMA/LIBRA. It is not yet possible determine their origin. Improved constraints are...

A claim for evidence of dark matter interactions in the DAMA experiment has been recently reinforced. We employ a new type germanium detector to conclusively rule out standard isothermal galactic halo weakly interacting massive particles as explanation annual modulation effect leading claim. Bounds are similarly imposed on suggestion that pseudoscalars might lead effect. describe sensitivity light achievable with our device, particular, next-to-minimal supersymmetric model candidates.
