Description
DEAP‑3600, with its 3.3‑tonne liquid argon target, is a dark matter direct‑detection experiment located at SNOLAB in Sudbury, Canada. Detector upgrades have been ongoing since the end of the second fill run in 2020 to reduce backgrounds from shadowed alphas and dust dissolved in the liquid in the just‑started third fill run. We present here the most recent results from the WIMP search, together with the first results from the analysis of the third‑fill data, which will inform both the impact of the detector upgrades on our backgrounds and the design of future noble‑liquid experiments.
