Germanium detectors with sub-keV sensitivities open a window to search for low-mass WIMP dark matter. The CDEX-TEXONO Collaboration is conducting the first research program at the new China Jinping Underground Laboratory with this approach. The status and plans of the laboratory and the experiment are discussed.

The theme of the TEXONO research program is on the studies of low energy neutrino and dark matter physics. The current goals are on the development of germanium detectors with sub-keV sensitivities to realize experiments on neutrino magnetic moments, neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering, as well as WIMP dark matter searches. A threshold of 100–200 eV was achieved with prototype detectors at the Kuo-Sheng Neutrino Laboratory. New limits were placed for low-mass WIMPs. The dark matter program will move to a new underground laboratory currently under construction in Sichuan, China.

The theme of the TEXONO-CDEX research program is on the studies of low energy neutrino and dark matter physics at Kuo-Sheng Reactor Neutrino Laboratory and China Jin-Ping Underground Laboratory. The current goal is to open the "sub-keV" detector window with germanium detectors. The three main scientific subjects are neutrino magnetic moments, neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering, and dark matter searches. We highlight the status, results and plans in this article.

The status and plans of a research program on the development of ultra-low-energy germanium detectors with sub-keV sensitivities are reported. We survey the scientific goals which include the observation of neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering, the studies of neutrino magnetic moments, as well as the searches of WIMP dark matter. In particular, a threshold of 100-200 eV and a sub-keV background comparable to underground experiments were achieved with prototype detectors. New limits were set for WIMPs with mass between 3–6 GeV. The prospects of the realization of full-scale experiments are discussed.
