Dark matter candidates with masses below 10 GeV/c² hold promise, and a new detector, DarkSide-LowMass, is proposed based on the DarkSide-50 detector and progress towards the DarkSide-20k. DarkSide-LowMass is optimized for low-threshold electron-counting measurements, and sensitivity to light dark matter is explored for various potential energy thresholds and background rates. I will present...

The nature of dark matter is still unknown and its origin in our universe remains one of the most important questions in physics. Particularly, in direct searches one looks for WIMP dark matter particle interactions with ordinary matter in underground laboratories which suppress the background of cosmic rays. One of the most promising detection technologies involves the use of a large mass of...

The study and hunt for Dark Matter relies heavily on a proper modelling of the so-called astrophysical (or cosmological) factors. Local density of the prospective DM candidate in the solar vicinity or in the Galactic neighborhood, as well as the distribution of shapes, masses and abundance of the gravitational collapse DM haloes are quantities that are predictions of the the standard...

The Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (LEGEND) has been designed to answer one of the highest priority questions in fundamental physics: is the neutrino a Majorana or Dirac particle, is the lepton number conserved, and what is the neutrino mass?
The first phase of the project, the LEGEND-200 detector, is currently running at the Laboratori Nazionali...

Asymmetric dark matter (ADM) explains the present DM abundance by asymmetry between DM particles and anti-particles, like visible matter or standard model (SM) baryons.

ADM is particularly interesting when the visible and dark asymmetries have a common origin, since their abundances are different only by a factor of ~5.
When the asymmetries are equilibrated in the early Universe and thus...
