Abstract
We present a status report on a pilot experiment to establish the feas ibility of searching for evidence of weakly-interacting dark matter wi th an intrinsic metastable superconducting detector. The experiment, b ased on a device composed of 100 g of Sn microspheres less than or equ al to 20 micron in diameter, is to be placed at the 2400 mwe depth of the Canfranc Underground Laboratory. It is designed to operate at 100 mK, yielding an event energy threshold less than or equal to 1.75 keV with a background rejection factor of 95%.
