  Two germanium detectors are currently operating in the Canfranc Underground
Laboratory at 2450 m.w.e looking for WIMP dark matter. One is a 2 kg 76Ge IGEX
detector (RG-2) which has an energy threshold of 4 keV and a low-energy
background rate of about 0.3 c/keV/kg/day. The other is a small (234 g) natural
abundance Ge detector (COSME), of low energy threshold (2.5 keV) and an energy
resolution of 0.4 keV at 10 keV which is looking for WIMPs and for solar
axions. The analysis of 73 kg-days of data taken by COSME in a search for solar
axions via their photon Primakoff conversion and Bragg scattering in the Ge
crystal yields a 95% C.L. limit for the axion-photon coupling g < 2.8 10^-9
GeV^-1. These data, analyzed for WIMP searches provide an exclusion plot for
WIMP-nucleon spin-independent interaction which improves previous plots in the
low mass region. On the other hand, the exclusion plot derived from the 60
kg-days of data from the RG-2 IGEX detector improves the exclusion limits
derived from other ionization (non thermal) germanium detector experiments in
the region of WIMP masses from 30 to 100 GeV recently singled out by the
reported DAMA annual modulation effect.
