Abstract: (APS)

This paper describes the operation of the Coherent CAPTAIN-Mills (CCM) detector located at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center at Los Alamos National Laboratory. CCM is a 10-ton liquid argon detector located 20 meters from a high flux neutron/neutrino source and is designed to search for sterile neutrinos (

ν_{s}

’s) and light dark matter (LDM). An engineering run was performed in fall 2019 to study the characteristics of the CCM120 detector by searching for coherent scattering signals consistent with

ν_{s}

’s and LDM resulting from the production and decays of

π^{+}

and

π^{0}

in the tungsten target. New parameter space in a leptophobic dark matter (DM) model was excluded for DM masses between

\sim 2.0

and 30 MeV. The lessons learned from this run have guided the development and construction of the new CCM200 detector that will begin operations in 2021 and significantly improve on these searches.
