Abstract
The MIMAC project is multi-chamber detector for Dark Matter search, aiming at measuring both track and ionization with a matrix of micromegas $\mu$ TPC filled with ³He and $\rm CF_4$ . Recent experimental results on the first measurements of the Helium quenching factor at low energy (1 keV recoil) are presented.
