Abstract
EDELWEISS is a direct dark matter search experiment situated in the low
radioactivity environment of the Modane Underground Laboratory.
The experiment uses Ge detectors at very low temperature in order to
identify eventual rare nuclear recoils induced by elastic scattering of
WIMPs from our Galactic halo.
We present results of the commissioning of the second phase of the
experiment, involving more than 7 kg of Ge, that has been completed in
2007.
We describe two new types of detectors with active rejection of events
due to surface contamination. This active rejection is required in order to achieve the physics goals of 10-8 pb cross-section measurement for the current phase.

| What is OpenURL? |
The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
- If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
- You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
- You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
