Abstract
We report the status of the ORPHEUS dark matter experiment. The detect or will consist of about 1 kg of superheated superconducting Tin granu les and will be operated below 0.5 K. Measurements with a 32 cm(3) tar get, read by a single SQUID channel, are presented. Experience has bee n gained with cryogenic tests, performed with a test detector chamber, mounted via a side access to the cryostat.
