Abstract
The EDELWEISS experiment uses massive cryogenic Ge-bolometers to detect the scattering of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) on the target crystals in the underground laboratory of Modane. For enhanced background suppression both heat and ionization signals are read out via NTD-thermistors and interleaved Al-ring electrodes, respectively. The search of “low mass” WIMPs, focusing onWIMP masses in the range of (5 ≤ mχ ≤ 30)GeV, aims at signals of a few keV close to the threshold of the detectors. After applying strict selection cuts at most 3 events survive with a background expectation of 2 events PRD86,(2012),051701(R). These results exclude the DAMA and CRESST signal regions at 90% CL, but are still marginally compatible with the CoGeNT results. The EDELWEISS results will be reviewed and an outlook on the sensitivity reach of the improved EDELWEISS-III setup will be given.
