EDELWEISS (Expérience pour DEtecter Les Wimps En Site Souterrain) is a dark matter search experiment located in the Modane Underground Laboratory. 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 EDELWE… (More on Edelweiss) |
