Abstract
CoGeNT, a recent collaboration between Argonne National Laboratory, CANBERRA Industries, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratory, the University of Chicago and the University of Washington, aims at the detection of very faint (∼100 eV) signals in devices massive enough (∼1 kg) to allow searches for rare processes, using recently developed p-type point contact (PPC) germanium detectors. The broad range of applications for these detectors is succinctly described. Implications from their first underground operation are discussed. Finally, the status of an ongoing deployment at the San Onofre nuclear generation station, aiming at obtaining a first evidence for coherent (anti)neutrino interactions with nuclei, is briefly described.
