    DarkSide-20k is a next-generation direct dark matter search experiment under construction at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) in Italy. The core of the detector is a two-phase liquid argon time projection chamber designed to probe WIMP interactions down to the neutrino floor, with an exposure goal of ~200 tonne-years in expectation of a WIMP-nucleon cross section of 10^-47 cm2 for a...

  4. 4. Update on dark matter searches using NaI from the COSINE-100 experiment
    Robert Neal (Sheffield University)

    COSINE-100 is a NaI dark matter detection experiment located at the Yangyang Underground Laboratory in South Korea, designed with the main goal of testing the controversial, positive dark matter signal from the DAMA experiments using the same target material. COSINE-100 has been operational for almost six years and in that time has been the first NaI experiment to exclude the DAMA signal in...

  5. 5. Recent physics results from NEWS-G
    Patrick Knights (Birmingham University)

    The NEWS-G collaboration is searching for light dark matter using spherical proportional counters. Access to the mass range from 50 MeV to 10 GeV is enabled by the combination of low energy threshold, light gaseous targets (H, He, Ne), and highly radio-pure detector construction. The NEWS-G collaboration has constructed a new, 140 cm in diameter, spherical proportional counter at LSM using 4N...

  6. 6. First Results and Status of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment
    Amy Cottle
    22/09/2022, 11:30

    The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) direct dark matter detection experiment is currently operating at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota. LZ recently set new limits on WIMP-nucleus interactions above 9 GeV/c^2 with its first science run (SR1). This talk will detail these results, the status and outlook of the project.
