Abstract

The DAMIC experiment exploits the exceptional energy and spatial resolution of charge coupled devices (CCDs) to search for dark matter particles. We present the latest results from the 11 kg-day
exposure collected with the DAMIC detector at SNOLAB. We build on previous analyses to distinguish between bulk and surface backgrounds to construct a robust radioactive background model down to energies as low as 50 eV. We compare the observed spectrum of events to the background-model prediction to search for an excess bulk signal, as would be expected from dark matter.
