Description

After describing the present status of the experiment, its sensitivity and a comparison with other other Dark Matter search experiments, I will focus on the next stage of the experiment, EDELWEISS II, and in particular on the main sources of background it will have to address. Taking into account the latest predictions of SUSY models, I will summarise the main features of a next generation 1 ton experiment sensitive to the lowest cross sections.
