Abstract
We present the current status of DAMIC at SNOLAB: a search for low-mass dark matter (DM) particles with low-noise CCDs. A 40 g 7-CCD array started operation in February 2017 and DM search data was acquired throughout 2017–2019. We summarize recent results on the search for few-e − ionization signals induced by electronic recoils from the scattering of DM particles with masses ˜MeVc −2 or the absorption of hidden photons with masses 1–10 eV c −2. We report on the status of the search for ionization signals greater than 15 e − from recoiling silicon nuclei following the scattering of DM particles with masses ˜GeV c −2.
