The EURECA direct dark matter search experiment, as outlined in its Conceptual Design Report (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212686414000090#), will consist of up to 1 ton of cryogenic (T~15mK) detector mass. The detectors will be Ge-Bolometers of EDELWEISS type and CaWO4 detectors of CRESST type. Each individual detector with a mass of ~1kg brings 4 to 6 channels which...
