Show affiliationsEDELWEISS is a direct search for WIMPs using cryogenic germanium ionizationphonon detectors and located in the Modane underground laboratory. We summarize the final results of the EDELWEISS I experiment obtained with up to nearly a kilogram of detectors. The increased exposure confirms previous results. We also report on the preparations for EDELWEISS II. Preliminary results are expected in 2006; the experiment could ultimately deploy up to 40 kg of detectors. Goals are to gain two orders of magnitude in sensitivity and to serve as a testbed for an even larger, tonne-scale, experiment.
