Abstract
The latest results obtained by the EDELWEISS WIMP (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) direct detection experiment using three heat-and-ionisation 320 g germanium bolometers are given. Presently the most sensitive WIMP direct detection experiment for WIMP mass >30 GeV, EDELWEISS-I is testing a first region of SUSY models compatible with accelerator constraints. The status and main characteristics of EDELWEISS-II, involving in a first stage 28 germanium bolometers, and able to accommodate up to 120 detectors, are briefly presented, together with neutron background estimations.
