2003 data taking with heat trigger2003 data taking with heat triggerSeveral runs between 2000 and 2003Last run = data taking with trigger on heat signalImproved efficiency at low energy (50 % at 11 keV)Stable behavior over 4 months of the detectorsFiducial exposure: 22 kg.d 18 nuclear recoil candidates > 15 keV
Possible backgroundsResidual neutron flux
1 n-n coincidence observed 2 single expected by MC
Surface electron recoilsMiscollected charge events at low energyLeak of events down to the nuclear recoil band not visible in coincidence events
Further, studies concerning the possible origins for these backgrounds

Exclusion limit – Spin IndependentExclusion limit – Spin IndependentNew exclusion consistent with our previous limitsBest sensitivity : 1.5x10-6 pb @ 80 GeV/c² EDELWEISS starts to explore some optimistic SUSY models
Need a gain in sensitivity of a factor 100 – 10000 (EDW-II, EURECA*) to explore more interesting SUSY modelsThis gain depends on improvements

-ray background in EDELWEISS-I-ray background in EDELWEISS-I
Before nuclear recoil selection, rate in detectors is ~1.5 event/kg/day/keV at low energyAt high energy, spectrum shape and rate consistent with simulations of the measured U/Th contamination in the bulk of the Cu shieldingRoom for improvement in EDELWEISS-II, where this Cu is not used

Neutron background in EDELWEISS-INeutron background in EDELWEISS-I
Recent estimate of the neutron flux in the lab with E >1 MeV : 1.1 0.1(stat) 10-6 n/cm²/sGood understanding of neutron propagation in the setup (agreement between simulated and experimental spectrum for a neutron calibration) Determination of single rate : ~2 nuclear recoil expected in 62 kg.d (ambient radioactivity + U contamination of copper and lead) 1 n-n coincidence observed in 62 kg.dNot a strong constraint on the single neutron rate in the data
Expected ratio double/single ~1/101 n-n 1 – 40 singles with ER>15 keV @ 90% C.L.Indistinguishable from the miscollected events in the nuclear recoil band

Surface backgrounds in EDELWEISS-ISurface backgrounds in EDELWEISS-I

E = 5.3 MeV, Q = 0.3
Peak at E=5.3 MeV’s from 210Po?Q=0.3 decays near surfacesRate ~ 400 /m²/dAs expected, non-fiducial part more exposed to flux
Very likely due to 210Pb on Cu or Ge surfacesNo 206Pb recoil peak at 100 keV observed as heat-only events : 210Pb implanted in Cu, not Ge.Rate of 0.3<Q<1.0 events at low energy consistent with surface ’s expected in 210Pb hypothesis
(but does not exclude possible contribution from 14C)
By removing Cu covers between detectors
Events should disappearBetter identification by coincidences

EDELWEISS-II improvements – surface EDELWEISS-II improvements – surface eventsevents
Important limitation to the sensitivity : due to diffusion, trapping and recombination, surface events are miscollected and can mimic nuclear recoils
2 approaches :Passive rejection : improve the charge collection for surface event
Physics of the charge collection, trapping, surface charge, regenerationPhysics of the Ge and Si amorphous sublayerDetectors with thick electrodes
Active rejection : identification of the surface eventsPulse shape analysis of the charge signals (but high bandwidth low noise) localization of the event Interdigitzed electrodes Detectors sensitive to athermal phonons Ge/NbSi detectors

Each signal = thermal + athermal component
For surface events, athermal higher in NbSia
