Description
SENSEI (Sub-Electron Noise Skipper Experimental Instrument) is the first experiment to implement the Skipper-CCD technology in particular to search for light dark matter.. These sensors have single electron resolution in millions of pixels, which when coupled with the small band gap of silicon enables these detectors to be uniquely sensitive to DM-electron scattering processes. SENSEI has recently measured the lowest-ever single electron rates in silicon detectors, resulting in world-leading sensitivity. SENSEI also has performed an analysis searching for earth-scattering induced diurnal modulation, further improving sensitivity near 1 MeV. In this talk we present our latest results from two science runs at SNOLAB, our daily modulation result from the most recent science run at MINOS, and future prospects for SENSEI and other Skipper-CCD detectors.
