1. “Edelweiss” tentative contributions G. Chardin DAPNIA, CEA/Saclay

2. Electronics and DAQ R&D Fast ADCs (12 bits, 100-500 Msamples/s) Digital acquisition systems (acquire continuously signals from detectors, decision on numerical flow, software trigger and online analysis) ; experience from Edelweiss-I and -II Ultra-low noise electronics (in particular GaAs HEMTs)

3. Detector development Very high resolution calorimeters R&D on localization by analysis of fast charge signal Participation to calibration test facility (AGATA, GERDA, …) for study of SSE vs. MSE

4. Other possible developments Design of large underground infrastructure, especially if compatible with EURECA design study (Dark Matter EU facility) Contribution to MCIRI magnet design and/or construction (discussion with A. Dael, SACM) ? Active neutron background veto

5. Remarks These propositions must be validated by our scientific committees and by the board of coordinators of Edelweiss Which EU tool(s) should we use ? –Network, design study, … How can we be inserted in the FP7 EU framework ? Insertion of “Edelweiss” DBD R&D in EU structure if possible
