Description
The DEAP-3600 experiment is looking for dark matter WIMPs by detecting the scintillation light produced by a recoiling liquid argon nucleus. Using a 1 tonne fiducial volume a WIMP-nucleon cross section sensitivity of 10^{-46} cm2 in is expected for 3 years of data taking for a 100GeV WIMP. DEAP-3600 has been designed for a target background of 0.6 events in the WIMP region of interest in 3 years of data taking. In this talk I will present the status of the commissioning of the optical data collected by DEAP.
