Description

The electron-counting capability of the skipper-CCDs has enabled world leading searches for low mass DM-electron scattering in experiments with less than 100g active mass (SENSEI and DAMIC-M). Oscura is the ongoing effort to develop a 10 kg skipper-CCD experiment for dark matter search. In this talk I will discuss the current status and plans for the Oscura experiment, including the performance of the prototype sensors and the plans for early science.
