Status and Prospects of CJPL and the CDEX Experiment

Abstract The China Dark Matter Experiment (CDEX) pursues the direct detection of light WIMPs towards the goal of a ton-scale germanium detector array at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL) located in Sichuan, China. This facility having about 2400 m of rock overburden is the deepest operational underground laboratory in the world. Results on light WIMPs from the CDEX-0 and CDEX-1 employed a germanium detector array with a total mass of 20 g and a crystal mass of 994 g pPCGe detector respectively were reported. We highlight the status and perspectives of the dark matter programs at CJPL, in particular the project of CDEX-10.
