Scientific paper

EDELWEISS is a direct dark matter search experiment operating in the low radioactivity environment of the Modane Underground Laboratory. The experiment runs at very low temperature massive Ge detectors in order to identify nuclear recoils induced by elastic scattering of WIMPs from the galactic halo. The commissioning of the second phase of the experiment, involving more than 7 kg of Ge detector, has been completed in 2007. These ionization/heat detectors allow an event by event electronic/nuclear recoil discrimination. Preliminary results of a new type of bolometer with interdigitized electrodes for the charge collection with active rejection are presented.
