The Edelweiss-II experiment

Operated at the Underground Laboratory of Modane, 4800 mwe (4μ/day/m2)

Cryogenic installation (~ 20 mK) : Reversed geometry cryostat Use of pulse tubes

Can house up to 40 kg of detectors Shieldings :

Clean room + deradonized air Active muon veto (>98% coverage) 50 cm PE shield, 20 cm Lead shield

⇒ γ background reduced by ~2 wrt EDW1 Facilities :

Remotely controlled sources for calibrations + regenerations

Detector storage & repair within clean room

12 cool-downs already operated

ratio

• Geant4 - expected : ~0.03 evts / kg.d• Mostly nuclear recoils below 50 keV

• Measured bolometer - muon veto coincidence rate : ~ 0.04 evts/kg.d

• The ionization yield distribution of coincidences is consistent with muon-induced events

2007-2008 data (280 kg.d - no cut)

spectra

• In addition: neutron detector installed to study induced n with higher stats

• Interactions in detectors due to muon-induced neutrons inside the shields

Surface event rejection : phonon measurements

The CDMS way

• Athermal phonon measurement (transition-edge sensors on one side of the cristal)• Measurement of phonon risetime & delay surface e- rejected⇒

EDW « NbSi » R&D

• 2 NbSi films measuring athermal phonons + ionization signals• Surface event rejection ok• Pbs of threshold / reproducibility• Set aside

Neutron shield and muon veto designed for < 10-8

New generation of « ID » detectors are validated Robust fabrication and operation Thresholds <15 keV Electron recoil rejection and surface event rejection (~1/105) Good fiducial volume - with improvments ongoing

ID detectors are well-fitted for future 100kg / ton-scale bolometric dark matter searches
