A prototype of the DAMIC-M detector was installed in December 2021 in the Modane underground laboratory in the Frejus tunnel. First results from the joint work of researchers and PhD students from Subatech and LPNHE laboratories, the University of Chicago and the University of Washington, are expected in the coming months.
