In the last years, the COSINUS (Cryogenic Observatory for SIgnals seen in Next generation Underground Searches) experiment has made significant progress both in the construction of its facility and in pursuing its physics goals: At Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy, an underground facility was constructed, which will house experimental detectors for dark matter direct detection in a dry dilution cryostat. Construction of the main structures at the COSINUS site is finished, including the control building, the cryostat access level, and the water tank which will serve as a Cherenkov muon veto around the cryostat. With a nuclear recoil threshold of 4 keV, the latest COSINUS detector prototype approaches the design goal of 1 keV, and particle discrimination on event-by-event basis has been demonstrated. This contribution gives a brief overview on the status of COSINUS.

Abstract

In the last years, the COSINUS (Cryogenic Observatory for SIgnals seen in Next generation Underground Searches) experiment has made significant progress both in the construction of its facility and in pursuing its physics goals: At Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy, an underground facility was constructed, which will house experimental detectors for dark matter direct detection in a dry dilution cryostat. Construction of the main structures at the COSINUS site is finished, including the control building, the cryostat access level, and the water tank which will serve as a Cherenkov muon veto around the cryostat. With a nuclear recoil threshold of 4 keV, the latest COSINUS detector prototype approaches the design goal of 1 keV, and particle discrimination on event-by-event basis has been demonstrated. This contribution gives a brief overview on the status of COSINUS.
