Cryogenic <germanium> or <silicon> detectors combining <phonon> and <ionization> signals. Relative charge yield discriminates <electron> and <nuclear recoils>, while <phonon> timing helps identify surface backgrounds. Lower thresholds extend light-WIMP sensitivity but require renewed efficiency, energy-scale and leakage studies.<Results from a Low-Energy Analysis of the CDMS II Germanium Data by CDMS Collaboration>[detector discussion and lowered-threshold selection]{ref}
