News-G: Light dark matter search with a Spherical Proportional Counter
Original language description
The New Experiments With Spheres-Gas (NEWS-G) Collaboration aims to shed light on the dark matter sector using the Spherical Proportional Counter. NEWS-G uses light noble gases as targets, to search for light dark matter in the 0.1 – 10 GeV range. SEDINE, a 60 cm in diameter spherical proportional counter, already operates in the Underground Laboratory of Modane, while the full-scale detector – 140 cm in diameter – is currently under construction. The first results from NEWS-G, based on 9.7 kg.days of exposure, are presented, obtaining a 90% confidence level upper limit of 4.4 . 1037 cm2 on the nucleon-dark matter interaction cross-section for a candidate with a mass 0.5 GeV. Recent developments in various aspects of the detector are discussed, along with the status of the project and future prospects.
