Abstract
A review of the key developments in the Spherical Proportional Counter is presented. The detector technology and operation principles are described along with results, such as the low-energy calibration, and more recent advances, including the use of resistive materials and a multi-ball readout system. The Spherical Proportional Counter has been utilised by the NEWS-G experiment, performing a direct search for light DM candidates, and a review of the recent results is provided. Prospects for future applications of the technology are also discussed.
