Abstract

The China Dark Matter Experiment (CDEX) pursues direct searches of light Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL), which is the deepest operating laboratory for astroparticle research in the world. Results from a prototype CDEX-0 20 g germanium detector array and CDEX-1 994 g pPCGe(p-type Point Contact Germanium) detector are reported. The new result from CDEX-1 pPCGe excludes the CoGeNT-2013 allowed region with an identical detector technique. CDEX-10 with a PCGearray of 10 kg target mass range enclosed in a liquid argon anti-Compton detector is being constructed and tested. The CDEX program evolves into the targets of "CDEX-1T Experiment". The CDEX-1T experiment will be located in CJPL-II which is under construction and will be finished by the end of 2016.
