Description
The DAMIC-M (DArk Matter In CCDs at Modane) experiment is scheduled to begin operations at the Modane underground laboratory (LSM) in late 2025. This talk presents the current status of the project, highlighting recent results from its prototype—the Low-Background Chamber (LBC)—and progress on detector construction at LSM. Data from the LBC have been used to exclude theoretical benchmarks where hidden-sector particles make up the dominant component of dark matter via freeze-in or freeze-out mechanisms. In preparation for DAMIC-M, 28 low-background CCD modules packaged at the University of Washington will undergo underground testing at LSM for detailed characterization prior to their integration into the full detector array.
