DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Cenk Turkoglu (AstroCeNT: Particle Astrophysics Scie
 nce and Technology Centre)\nDarkSide-20k is a rare-event search experiment
  dedicated to finding signals of dark matter particles. The DarkSide-20k t
 ime projection chamber detector registers ionisation and scintillation sig
 nals originating from the particles interacting with the liquid argon dete
 ctor medium. It is enclosed in a single-phase liquid argon neutron veto ta
 nk\, equipped with Gd-loaded panels for capturing neutrons. Due to particl
 e identification and vetoing carried out through the light signal\, it is 
 crucial to maximising the light yield. Light collection efficiency depends
  on various aspects of the detector\, and particularly for the Veto detect
 or\, which has a photosensor coverage of the order of a per cent\, the ref
 lectivity of materials used has a big impact. To quantify the amount of co
 llected light a comprehensive Geant4 simulation is done\, which uses optic
 al characterization data. The focus of the talk will be on a detailed desc
 ription of the optics model for the Veto of the experiment.\n\nhttps://ind
