Descripción
The DarkSide-20k experiment is a next-generation multi-ton dark matter detector currently being built at the INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) and designed for zero instrumental background direct detection of Weakly Interacting Massive Particle Dark Matter. The DarkSide-20k detector is a dual-phase time projection chamber (TPC) deploying 50 tonnes of underground low-radioactivity argon target instrumented with silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) arrays for precise light detection in both the TPC and in the two surrounding active veto systems.
This general presentation on the DarkSide-20k project will provide an overview on the key design features and challenges that will be detailed in other talks at this conference, the main updates on the construction effort, and the expected world-class sensitivity in the search for both high and low-mass WIMP dark matter.
