Description

Skipper-CCDs - finely segmented silicon detectors with the ability to count single charges - have been used by SENSEI and DAMIC-M for sub-GeV dark matter searches with world-leading sensitivity.

I will present the concept and projected performance of the dual-sided Skipper-CCD, a proposed detector that simultaneously reads out electrons and holes from the two sides of the device.
This will greatly improve background rejection for future large-scale CCD experiments such as Oscura.
