Abstract: The technique of spherical gaseous detectors has been used for the first time in the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane to search for WIMP signal. Some details on the used 60 cm diameter detector, operating conditions and preliminary results are given. Thanks to a low energy threshold of 150 eV and the use of Neon target, anticipated sensitivity has been calculated for WIMP masses as low as 0.7 GeV with a Boosted Decision Tree method. Final analysis of this data set is under way. A larger size detector of 140 cm diameter to be installed in SNOLAB is currently under design and planned to be operated end 2017.
