Description
The electron-counting capability of the skipper-CCD technology is allowing it to lead the search for DM-electron interactions in the low-mass regime with g-size experiments. There are ongoing efforts for developing massive direct DM search experiments with this technology. Oscura, an array of ~20,000 silicon skipper-CCDs (10 kg), is the biggest within them. Its final goal is to have less than one 2e- background events for the full exposure of 30 kg-year. In this talk I will present the current status of the Oscura experiment, the projected sensitivities to different DM models and the future plans.
