What are we looking <strong>for</strong> in Edelweiss?<br />
• Gravitationally interacting<br />
• Weakly interacting <strong>with</strong> baryons, no electromagnetic interaction (no charge)<br />
• Long lived (~age of <strong>the</strong> Universe decay time)<br />
• Neutrinos, Axions, KK particles (axinos, gravitinos, sneutrinos, ...)<br />
• cMSSM one possible Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP): Neutralino is<br />
<strong>the</strong> most-popular WIMP candidate. O<strong>the</strong>r LSPs exist depending upon <strong>the</strong><br />
model and parameters.<br />
• cMSSM models give Neutralino M ~ 100 GeV and σA ~ 10 -9 pb (coherent<br />
elastic scattering) -- need large exposures to detect (~400 kgd in EDW 2)<br />
