Description
Experiments with sub-keV sensitivities open a window to search for WIMPs at the mass range of less than 10 GeV and for axions through resonant absorption. We will present data taken with a 500-g Point Contact Germanium detector at the Kuo-Sheng Neutrino Laboratory in 2009-2010, which improve over previous sensitivities [1]. A dedicated experiment is now under preparation at the new China Jin-Ping Underground Laboratory which has over 2500 m of rock overburden and has drive-in access [2]. Data taking is scheduled by Fall 2010. The status of construction of the laboratory and the experiment will be presented. Future plans will be discussed.
