DarkSide experiment: Low radioactivity argon dark matter search results and future plans

DarkSide-50 is a direct darkmatter experiment operating in the underground Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS).

Recently, DarkSide experiment published the first dark matter search performed with low radioactivity argon in the DarkSide-50 detector. Results of this search will be presented along with the physics potential for the future 20 ton detector.

The 20 ton detector is made possible by breakthroughs in Si photomultiplier technology and in very low radioactivity levels of 39Ar present in argon from underground sources.
