Description

The low mass (< 10 GeV/$c^2$) dark matter parameter space presents several candidates of interest, but requires devices with excellent energy resolution operated in ultra-low background environments to perform meaningful searches. SuperCDMS SNOLAB is a broadband direct dark matter search experiment projected to achieve world-leading sensitivity under 5 GeV/$c^2$ mass for nucleon-coupled dark matter candidates and probe previously unexplored regions in the sub-GeV mass range. As the experiment marches towards its commissioning phase, this talk will present an overview of the science, a brief status report and highlight results to anticipate in the near future.
