Photon detector Large prototype successfully operated with purified Xenon at TERAS: E 2% LP already shipped to PSI: will be better tested by making use of monocromatic photons Need of a liquid hydrogen target Cryostat project is being examined by F. Raffaelli (Pisa) who will follow its construction PMT test facility under construction at Pisa Deficit in the budget for 350 PMTs

Sensitivity The rate is lowered in order to have ~ 0.5 background events for 1 signal event We confirm our (July 02) estimates of detectors resolutions and therefore our goal of improving the present limit by two orders of magnitudes
