Descripción

The DARWIN experiment is a next-generation dual-phase time projection chamber which will operate 50t of natural xenon and whose primary goal will be to explore the entire experimentally accessible parameter space  for WIMPs. Besides its unprecedented sensitivity to WIMPS, such a large detector, with its low-energy threshold and ultra low background level, will be also a powerful tool to probe neutrino physics. This includes a competitive half-life sensitivity for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 136Xe as well as a high-precision measurement of the low-energy solar neutrino flux. We discuss here the concept of DARWIN and the sensitivity for the different physics channels.
