- Title
EDELWEISS experiment: Direct search for dark matter.
- Authors
Lubashevskiy, A. V.; Yakushev, E. A.
- Abstract
The EDELWEISS experiment is aimed at direct searches for nonbaryonic cold dark matter by means of cryogenic germanium detectors. It is deployed at the LSM underground laboratory in the Frejus tunnel, which connects France and Italy. The results of the experimentmade it possible to set a limit on the spin-independent cross section for the scattering of weak-interacting massive particles (WIMP) at a level of 10−6 pb. Data from 21 detectors of total mass about 7 kg are being accumulated at the present time.
