The proposal for an array of 1000 cryogenic detectors of a mass between 0.5 and 1kg each
is presented. It would be operated underground to search for neutrinoless double beta …

The discrimination capabilities of a 70 g heat and ionization Ge bolometer are studied. This
first prototype has been used by the EDELWEISS dark matter experiment, installed in the …

Four categories of events have been identified in the EDELWEISS-I dark matter experiment
using germanium cryogenic detectors measuring simultaneously charge and heat signals …

There exists an overwhelming body of observational evidence that most of the matter in the
universe is dark. The constraints of big bang nucleosynthesis coupled with lower limits on …

Abstract The Neganov} Luke e! ect consists mainly of the enhancement of heat deposited by
an ionizing particle in a bolometer at low temperatures, when the induced charges are …

We have developed preamplifier configurations used to readout resistive bolometers such
as those based on neutron transmuted doped Germanium thermometers (so-called NTD Ge …

The status of the EDELWEISS experiment is presented. First tests of a prototype detector of
the “1kg” stage show an event rate before rejection of≈ 2evt/kg/keV/day above E> 20keV, a …

Determining the precise nature of Dark Matter is one of the main open questions of
contemporary physics. Its resolution will probably entail a major Copernician revolution …

Many observational evidence for the existence of Dark Matter have been discovered over
the last century. Several techniques are employed to directly search for a Dark Matter signal; …
