Abstract

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 320g bolometers. At present, EDELWEISS I is the most sensitive experiment for all WIMP masses compatible with accelerator constraints (Mwimp>30 GeV/c^2). We also briefly describe the status of the second stage EDELWEISS II involving initially 10 kg of detectors aiming a gain of two orders of magnitude in sensitivity.
