Scientific paper

The latest results obtained with three heat-and-ionisation 320 g germanium bolometers are described. In the recoil energy range relevant for WIMP masses below 10 TeV/c2, no nuclear recoils were observed in the fiducial volume of one of the detectors during an exposure of 7.4 kg days. This result is combined with the previous 2000 EDELWEISS data to derive limits for cross-section for spin-independent interaction of WIMPs and nucleon in the framework of the MSSM. These exclude at more than 99.8% CL a WIMP with a mass of 44 GeV/c2 and a cross-section of 5.4×10-6 pb, as reported by the DAMA collaboration. A few Supersymmetric models are also excluded at 90% CL. The next step EDELWEISS II involves 28 germanium bolometers.
