DarkSide-20k: Next generation Direct Dark Matter searches with liquid Argon
Ioannis Manthos
Abstract:DarkSide-20k is a next-generation dual-phase Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber, currently under construction at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) in Italy. With a 20 t fiducial mass of liquid Argon, DarkSide-20k will probe WIMP-nucleon interactions down to cross sections equal to 10 −48 cm 2 for a WIMP mass of 0.1 TeV/c 2 . DarkSide-20k is designed to be a nearly "instrumental background-free" experiment, meaning that less than 0.1 background events are expected in the WIMP search region during the … Show more
