Description
The DEAP-3600 experiment (Dark matter Experiment using Argon Pulseshape discrimination) at SNOLAB in Sudbury, Ontario is a single-phase liquid argon detector designed to probe for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). The detector consists of 3.3 tonnes of liquid argon housed in a spherical acrylic vessel, which is viewed by 255 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). Data taken from November 2016 to March 2020 is being used to support a broad physics program ranging from dark matter searches to rare-interaction studies in argon. Ongoing work includes exploring the evidence for high-energy solar neutrino interaction on Ar40, and the impact of detector upgrades. Details and status of those two items will be presented.
