SUMMARY:The SENSEI Experiment: latest results and prospects for sub-GeV dar
	k matter searches
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Ana Botti \, ITeDA\nHosted by: David Sperka\n\nPart o
	f the HEE Seminar Series.\n\nFully-depleted charge-coupled devices (CCD) ha
	ve proved to be an excellent technology to measure particle interactions wi
	th low-energy deposits. During the last 10 years\, they have been successfu
	lly implemented in dark matter search experiments\, being able to probe mas
	ses in the GeV scale. The recently developed Skipper-CCD technology has ach
	ieved sub-electron resolution\, enhancing the sensitivity to detect process
	es with an even lower-energy transfer\, and in turn\, to explore the sub-Ge
	V mass region. SENSEI (Sub-Electron Noise Skipper Experimental Instrument) 
	is the first experiment to use Skipper-CCD sensors in dark matter searches 
	and also the first one to publish world-leading sub-GeV dark matter results
	 using this technology. In this seminar\, I will present the SENSEI detecto
	r performance and recent results from the first year of data taking with a 
	science grade Skipper-CCD operated in a low-radiation environment. I will a
	lso discuss the current status and future plans for SENSEI: a 100 g Skipper
	-CCD detector being deployed at SNOLAB.
