Abstract
The ORPHEUS dark matter experiment is being built and most of it is already installed at our underground facility in Bern (70 m.w.e). The detector rel ies in an initial phase on 0.45 kg (1.6 kg maximum capacity) superheated su perconducting tin granules (SSG) to measure recoils from weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). The actual status of the installation as well a s parallel ongoing studies are presented.
