Description

The COSINUS (Cryogenic Observatory for SIgnatures seen in Next-generation Underground Searches) experiment is a state-of-the-art cryogenic initiative in the field of dark matter direct detection. Operating at millikelvin temperatures and utilizing ultrapure NaI detectors, COSINUS employs a two-channel readout system utilizing transition edge sensors (TESs), allowing for effective particle discrimination. COSINUS aims to independently verify the DAMA/LIBRA dark matter signal. Conducted at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy, COSINUS will contribute crucial insights into the global pursuit of understanding dark matter's unknown properties. This talk will go through the latest results, updates on ongoing efforts, and perspectives for the future.
