What after Jan 2014
[edit]In Jan 2014 they reported only 2-sigma 'detection' of annual modulation. What happened after Jan 2014 ? CoGeNT gives further backing to annual dark-matter variation. Jan 2014 says "... Collar and a number of other physicists have built a small xenon detector at Fermilab in order to scrutinize LUX's claimed exclusions. The detector, which uses a yttrium–beryllium neutron source to mimic the recoil of low-mass WIMPs, should produce results within a few weeks. The next step for Collar will then be the assembly of a 4 kg successor to CoGeNT, called C4, which he hopes to have up and running by the end of 2014." - Rod57 (talk) 22:15, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

[edit]Would be great to include :
- what type of events/energies/particles CoGeNT is sensitive to
- at what energies were excess events seen ?
- that the sigma for the supposed annual variation was only 2 sigma ?
- what were the counts and assumed backgrounds ?
- details on the recalculation of background 'noise' levels ?
- which universities involved ?
