Query: Combined Limits on WIMPs from the CDMS and EDELWEISS Experiments   The CDMS and EDELWEISS collaborations have combined the results of their
direct searches for dark matter using cryogenic germanium detectors. The total
data set represents 614 kg.d equivalent exposure. A straightforward method of
combination was chosen for its simplicity before data were exchanged between
experiments. The results are interpreted in terms of limits on spin-independent
WIMP-nucleon cross-section. For a WIMP mass of 90 GeV/c^2, where this analysis
is most sensitive, a cross-section of 3.3 x 10^{-44} cm^2 is excluded at 90%
CL. At higher WIMP masses, the combination improves the individual limits, by a
factor 1.6 above 700 GeV/c^2. Alternative methods of combining the data provide
stronger constraints for some ranges of WIMP masses and weaker constraints for
others.
