Abstract: (Elsevier)
A search was conducted for diurnal modulation in the background of the 0.234 kg germanium detector, COSME-II, due to the hypothetized scattering of cold dark matter (CDM) particles in the Earth. Bounds on CDM are presented, and a theory of CDM scattering in the Earth is discussed.
