Abstract
The Edelweiss collaboration performs light Dark Matter (DM) particles searches with germanium bolometer collecting charge and phonon signals. Thanks to the Neganov-Trofimov-Luke (NTL) effect, a RMS resolution of 4.46 electron-hole pairs was obtained on a massive (200g) germanium detector instrumented with a NbSi Transition Edge Sensor (TES) operated underground at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (LSM). This sensitivity made possible a search for WIMP using the Migdal effect down to 32 MeV/C² and exclude cross-sections down to 10e-29 cm². It is the first measurement in cryogenic germanium with such thermal sensor, proving the high relevance of this technology. Furthermore, such TES have shown sensitivity to out-of-equilibrium phonons, paving the way for EDELWEISS new experience CRYOSEL. This is an important step in the development of Ge detectors with improved performance in the context of the EDELWEISS-SubGeV program.

Report
In this proceeding author is describing a new result in searches of light Dark Matter down to32MeV/c^2 using Migdal effect. As well the prospects and plans for future improvements and searches. The manuscript is clearly written and well organised. I recommend the manuscript for publication after some minor corrections.
Requested changes
- Fig. 2, you name the limit “nu-cleus 2017” and give reference to CRESST. Please give the correct name. Ref. 23 “CEDEX” - “CDEX” ?
- p.2 can you please indicate the activity of strong AmBe source?
- Fig.4 please add references as for Fig.2
- some typos present

(in reply to Report 1 on 2022-11-06)Dear reviewer,
-For nu-cleus 2017, the results presented in Fig 2 correspond to the limit achieved with nu-cleus prototype detector, thus there is no mistake in the labelling and the proper paper is cited.
-Unfortunately, I don't have the numbers for the activity of the source.
-I'll add the references
Best regards
