Abstract

TREX-DM (TPC Rare Event eXperiment for Dark Matter) is intended to look for low mass WIMPs in the Canfranc Underground Laboratory (LSC) in Spain, using light elements (Ne, Ar) as target in a high pressure TPC equipped with Micromegas readouts. Here, a description of the detector, the first results from commissioning data and the expected sensitivity from the developed background model are briefly presented.
