DarkSide-20k, is designed as a 20-tonne fiducial mass Time Projection Chamber with SiPM based photosensors, expected to be free of any instrumental background for an exposure of >100 ton x years.
The dual phase TPC will use a total of 50 t low radioactivity Argon from underground source and will be realized within a sealed acrylic vessel surrounded by an active neutron veto detector. The...
The nature and origin of Dark Matter are among the most compelling mysteries of contemporary science. For over three decades, physicists have been trying to detect Dark Matter particles via collisions on target nuclei, with little success.
The LZ collaboration is building a massive Dark Matter detector, which is currently being installed at the 4850 level of the Sanford Underground Research...
To date, dark matter has only been observed through its gravitational interaction. A new detector in the XENON family, XENONnT, is being constructed at the INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy, featuring a $6$ tonnes of liquid xenon target contained in a larger time projection chamber. The large target mass and approximately 10 times lower background than its predecessor XENON1T, will...
Two of the outstanding open questions in physics are the nature of dark matter and the fundamental nature of neutrinos. DARWIN is a next-generation experiment aiming to reach a dark matter sensitivity limited by the irreducible neutrino backgrounds. The core of the detector will have a 40 ton liquid xenon target operated as a dual-phase time projection chamber. The unprecedented large xenon...
