Abstract

The NEWS-G direct detection experiment uses spherical proportional counters to search for light dark matter candidates. New results from a 10 day physics run with a 135cm in diameter spherical proportional counter at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane are reported. The target consists of 114g of methane, providing sensitivity to dark matter spin-dependent coupling to protons. New constraints are presented in the mass range 0.17 to 1.2GeV/c², with a 90% confidence level cross-section upper limit of 30.9pb for a mass of 0.76GeV/c².
