Description
Summary:Germanium detectors with point contact configuration is an exciting detector technology which provides sub-keV sensitivities as low as 100 eVee with kg-scale detector mass. This detector technique offers a unique opportunity to realize experiments on dark matter, to enhance the sensitivity of electromagnetic properties of neutrino and coherent elastic scattering of neutrino nucleus with reactor neutrino source. The TEXONO collaboration have been pursuing this research program at the Kuo-Sheng Neutrino Laboratory (KSNL) in Taiwan. We will highlight our results on neutrino electromagnetic properties, search of sterile neutrinos, as well as studies towards observation of neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering. The detector R&D programs which allow us to experimentally probe this new energy window will be discussed. The efforts set the stage and complement the CDEX dark matter experiment at the new China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL) in China.
