DELight<\/a> aims at detecting light dark matter particles with masses well below 1 GeV in a liquid helium target. The collaboration mainly consists of members of the southern German universities Freiburg, KIT Karlsruhe and Heidelberg. A group of six PIs, two from each institution, have now received more than 5 million EUR, to realize the first phase of DELight in the next four years from the German Research Foundation DFG<\/a>. The collaborative funding instrument is the Research Unit FOR 6006 “DELight”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PIs from Freiburg, Marc Schumann and Sebastian Lindemann, are responsible for the following two out of six sub-projects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
