The Spherical Proportional Counter, recently developed, allows to instrument large target masses with good energy resolution and low energy threshold. Ultra low energy results are shown here, leading to an energy threshold as low as 25 eV and a single electron detection sensitivity. The bench mark result is the observation of a well resolved peak at 270 eV due to carbon fluorescence, which is a unique performance for such large massive detector. This very promising feature can fulfill the demands of many challenging projects from dark matter detection to low energy neutrino searches. Details of this study are given in reference [1].
