"Probing 10 orders of magnitude of dark matter mass using CCDs : New results from DAMIC@SNOLAB and prospects for DAMIC-M"

<!--HTML--><div class="x_PlainText"><span><span>The DAMIC (Dark Matter in CCDs) experiment uses CCD detectors to search for the direct interaction of galactic dark matter.&nbsp; Scientific CCD detectors provide an unprecedented low energy threshold and spatial resolution to probe for light dark matter.&nbsp; Given the current lack of evidence for a WIMP of mass around the weak scale, DAMIC focuses its search on lighter WIMPs, as well as the interaction of hidden-sector photons that could mediate the interaction of DM or even comprise DM.&nbsp; The current experiment, DAMIC@SNOLAB pioneered the search for hidden-photon interactions of DM and set world-leading constraints for low-mass WIMPs with a silicon-based target. The next experiment, DAMIC-M at LSM (Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane in France) will be sensitive to never-before probed potential DM models, covering a broad range of models spanning from eV to 10 TeV.&nbsp; In this talk, exciting new results from DAMIC@SNOLAB and prospects from DAMIC-M will be presented.</span></span></div> <div class="x_PlainText">&nbsp;</div> <div class="x_PlainText">Passcode: 679311</div>
