Abstract
The CYGNO project for the development of a high precision optical readout gaseous TPC for directional Dark Matter search and solar neutrino spectroscopy will be presented. It is to be hosted at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. CYGNO peculiar features are the use of sCMOS cameras and PMTs coupled to GEMs amplification of a helium-based gas mixture at atmospheric pressure, in order to achieve 3D tracking with head tail capability and background rejection down to O(keV) energy, to boost sensitivity to low WIMP masses. The latest R&D results within the CYGNO project will be discussed along with the underground installation and operation of a 50 l prototype, soon to be followed by a O(1) m3 experiment demonstrator in 2024-2026. The latest results on the negative ion drift operation at atmospheric pressure within CYGNO optical readout approach will be illustrated, which is the aim of the ERC Consolidator Grant project INITIUM.

Report
In this proceeding authors describe the R&D LIME (phase0 of CYGNO project) prototype being commissioned and operated in two laboratories and future steps like calibration and measurement of external background. As well described future of CYGNO - two following steps for detector to be operated in 2023-2026 with a synergy of the negative ion drift operation at atmospheric pressure.
The manuscript is clearly written and well organised. It is also suitably formatted for publication.
I recommend the manuscript for publication after clarification of an O(30) m3 volume or O(1) m3, the years are 2023-2026 or 2024-2026? First reference “EXPERI- MENTS ” -> “EXPERIMENTS”
Requested changes
1) Please clarify - an O(30) m3 volume or O(1) m3, the years are 2023-2026 or 2024-2026?
2) First reference “EXPERI- MENTS ” -> “EXPERIMENTS”.
