Description

Starting from the achieved sensitivity of EDELWEISS-III with its FID800 Ge detector technology, we present the planning for the next measurement phase. This will concentrate on the usage of Ge bolometers with voltage-assisted amplified heat signals (so-called Neganov-Luke mode) to explore the parameter space for low mass WIMPs (down to m 1GeV). Significant improvements in sensitivity can be realised with a moderate exposure of 350 kg.d within the next 2 years. Beyond 2017, the already existing cooperation with SuperCDMS should lead to a common experimental infrastructure in SNOLAB. Current R and D activities, sensitivity projections and the project towards the SNOLAB cryogenic facility are presented.
