The EDELWEISS experiment and Dark Matter Direct Detection
arXiv:astro-ph/0306233
Abstract
This mini-review first introduces the motivations for Dark Matter Searches. The experimental aspect of the direct detection of Weakly Interactive Massive Particles (WIMPs) is described, detailing its principle and presenting some experiments with their recent results. The EDELWEISS experiment and its results are discussed in more details before concluding with the future direct detection experiments.
