  GENIUS is a proposal for a large scale detector of rare events. As a first
step of the experiment, a small test version, the GENIUS test facility, will be
build up at the Laboratorio Nazionale del Gran Sasso (LNGS). With about 40 kg
of natural Ge detectors operated in liquid nitrogen, GENIUS-TF could exclude
(or directly confirm) the DAMA annual modulation signature within about two
years of measurement.
