چکیده
The Edelweiss experiment is a direct detection Dark Matter Search, under the form of WIMPs. It uses heat and ionization Ge cryogenic detectors.We present the latest results obtained by the experiment with three new 320 g bolometers. At present, Edelweiss I is the most sensitive experiment for all WIMP masses compatible with accelerator constraints (M W IM P > 30 GeV).We also briefly describe the status of the second stage Edelweiss-II involving initially 10 kg of detectors and aiming a gain of two orders of magnitude in sensitivity.

EDELWEISS dark matter search: Latest results and future plans
EDELWEISS is a direct search for WIMP dark matter using cryogenic heat-and-ionization germanium detectors. We report the final results of the second stage of the experiment, EDELWEISS-II, obtained with an array of ten 400 g detectors. A total effective exposure of 384 kg.day has been achieved, obtained following fourteen months of continuous operation at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane. Fi...
متن کاملEDELWEISS - 2 Dark Matter Search : recent results with new detectors
EDELWEISS-2 is a direct dark matter (DM) search experiment using cryogenic Germanium bolometers. The most promising DM candidate, a so-called weakly interacting massive particle, WIMP, is expected to scatter off the target nuclei thus depositing a tiny energy in the detectors. A powerful event selection and good background knowledge are of crucial importance in this case. The experiment is situ...

Direct searches for Dark Matter are experiment dedicated to the observation of the energetic recoiling ions produced by the scattering of WIMP particles from our galactic halo on terrestrial targets. The status and prospects of some currently running experiments are presented, together with new preliminary results of the experiments EDELWEISS-II.

The EDELWEISS collaboration is searching for WIMP dark matter using natural Ge cryogenic detectors. The whole data set of the first phase of the experiment contains 4.8 kg.day of data on Ge, the naturally present (7.8%), high-spin Ge isotope. The sensitivity of the experiment to the spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon interactions is evaluated using the model-independent framework proposed by Tovey et ...
