Description
This talk will present a summary of liquid argon technology and the scientific opportunities it offers for probing fundamental physics. The main focus will be on two experiments: DEAP-3600, a single-phase detector located at SNOLAB, and DarkSide-20k, a future liquid argon time projection chamber currently under construction at LNGS, Italy. This talk will highlight recent progress, challenges, and future prospects in the field, emphasizing how these detectors contribute to the broader quest to unravel the mysteries of dark matter and neutrino properties.
