Recent progress on the development of a room-temperature, nuclear-recoil-discriminating detector based on Scintillation and Ionization in Gaseous Neon (SIGN) will be discussed. Preliminary studies show that pure neon and neon + X mixtures (X = Ar, Xe, CH4 etc.) at pressure of >=100 atmospheres can be used to detect radiation at low energies with excellent resolution in the range useful for a dark matter search. This also allows for the detection of coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering for neutrino energies greater than ˜10 MeV, thus making a large mass detector sensitive to supernovae and high energy solar neutrinos.
