caption_attribution_description: English: CDMS (cryogenic dark matter search) parameter space exclusion of DAMA result represented in green parameter space.
context_page_description: EDELWEISS is a dark matter search experiment located at the Modane Underground Laboratory in France. The experiment uses cryogenic detectors, measuring both the phonon and ionization signals produced by particle interactions in germanium crystals. This technique allows nuclear recoils events to be distinguished from electron recoil events.
  The EURECA project is a proposed future dark matter experiment, which will involve researchers from EDELWEISS and the CRESST dark matter search.
context_section_description: The results from the first phase of the experiment (EDELWEISS I) were published in 2005, excluding WIMP dark matter with an interaction cross-section above ≈10⁻⁶ pb (at ≈85 GeV). 
  EDELWEISS-II ran 2009–10 with 10 detectors, that is, 4 kg of detector mass (for a total effective exposure of 384 kg·d) limiting high mass 
  and low mass WIMPs, 
  and axions. A cross-section of 4.4×10⁻⁸ pb is excluded at 90% C.L. for WIMP mass of 85 GeV. (Just above projected CDMS results in Fig A.)
  EDELWEISS-III had 40 detectors. EDELWEISS-III conducted first science run 2014-2015 with results published in 2016.
  EURECA design work will continue for operation after the EDELWEISS-III run. It is planned that EURECA would start operating after 2017.
