Description

The direct detection of dark matter is one of the most important topics in particle physics. Within the Global Argon Dark Matter Collaboration (GADMC) we are mounting a phased approach to this search using liquid argon. DEAP-3600 at SNOLAB started operations in 2016 and will begin new running with detector upgrades in 2025. DarkSide-20k will start operations in 2028 at LNGS. ARGO is currently being developed for operation in the 2030s. In this talk I will present an overview of the argon dark matter program.
