dc.descriptionThe Heidelberg Dark Matter Search Experiment (HDMS) is a new ionization Germanium experiment in a special design. Two concentric Ge crystals are housed by one cryostat system, the outer detector acting as an effective shield against multiple scattered photons for the inner crystal, which is the actual dark matter target. We present first results after successfully running the prototype detector for a period of about 15 months in the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory. We analyze the results in terms of limits on WIMP-nucleon cross sections and present the status of the full scale experiment, which will be installed in Gran Sasso in the course of this year.
