Abstract
The proposal for an array of 1000 cryogenic detectors of a mass between 0.5 and 1 kg each is presented. It would be operated underground to search for neutrinoless double beta decay, interaction of WIMPS and of solar axions a nd for rare events in nuclear physics. The first results of an array of 20 TeO2 detectors totaling a mass of almost 7 kg will be also reported. (C) 19 98 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
