Abstract

The EDELWEISS experiment is dedicated to the WIMPs direct search using heat-and-ionization Ge cryogenic detectors. We present the final results obtained by the first stage of the experiment, EDELWEISS-I which used three 320 g bolometers, corresponding to 62 kg.d. We describe EDELWEISS-II which commissioning runs have already started. This second stage of the experiment involves 10 to 40 kg of detectors with a better shielding in the aim to improve the sensitivity by two orders of magnitude.
