The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is a dark matter detector centred on a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber operating at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, USA. Results from LZ’s first search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) with an exposure of 60 live days using a fiducial mass of 5.5 tonnes were recently published. A profile-likelihood...
The XENONnT experiment is a dark matter detector centered on a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber operating at the INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. XENONnT has achieved unprecedented purity both for electronegative contaminants, with an electron lifetime exceeding 10 ms, and for radioactive 222Rn, with an activity of 1.72±0.03 𝜇Bq/kg. This talk will give an overview and the...
DarkSide-50 is a direct WIMP dark matter detection experiment at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) that uses argon as the target material. Exploiting the ionization signal from a dual-phase time projection chamber (TPC) filled with low radioactivity argon from an underground source, it has set the strongest limit against WIMP with a mass in the GeV/c2 region. A new analysis has...
DEAP-3600 is the largest running dark matter detector filled with liquid argon, set at SNOLAB, in Sudbury, Canada, 2 km underground. The experiment holds the most stringent exclusion limit in argon for WIMPs above 10 GeV/c^2. In the published analysis the background events due to alpha-inducing scintillation in the neck of the detector limited the sensitivity. Both the hardware upgrades and...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a dual-site experiment for long-baseline neutrino oscillation studies, able to resolve the neutrino mass hierarchy and measure $\delta_{CP}$.
DUNE will also have sensitivity to supernova neutrinos and to processes beyond the Standard Model, such as nucleon decay searches.
The Far Detector (FD) will consist of four liquid argon TPC...
The Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Double Beta (0vbb) Decay (LEGEND) is designed to answer one of the highest priority questions in fundamental physics: is the neutrino Majorana or Dirac particle, is the lepton number conserved, and what is the neutrino mass ?
In the first phase of the project the LEGEND-200 detector is under construction at the Laboratori Nazionali...
NEXT is an experimental program aimed at the detection of neutrinoless double beta (ββ0ν) decay in 136Xe. The collaboration has recently concluded the operation of NEXT-White: a 50-cm diameter and length TPC holding Xe at 10 bar. The experiment, hosted at the Laboratorio Subterráneo de Canfranc, under the Spanish Pyrenees, has demonstrated the two key features of the NEXT technology: an...
PETALO (Positron Emission TOF Apparatus with Liquid xenOn) is a new technique that uses liquid xenon (LXe) together with a SiPM-based readout and fast electronics to provide a significant improvement in PET-TOF technology. Liquid xenon allows to build a continuous detector with a high stopping power for 511-keV gammas and provides a uniform response avoiding most of the geometrical distortions...
This project is based on the emerging technology from the field of direct dark matter searches for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), in which Liquid Argon (LAr) time projection chambers are used to identify different particle interactions for WIMP detection. The Darkside Collaboration has demonstrated the true power of the advancing LAr detector technology. They are also making...
CCM is a 10 ton liquid argon scintillation detector located at Los Alamos National Lab. The prototype detector CCM120 was fabricated in 2017, which utilized 120 PMTs, and now the upgraded detector CCM200, with 200 PMTs, has collected data in the 2021 run cycle. The physics program of CCM comprises searches for new particles in the weak sector, including Dark Photons, Axion-like Particles...
The nature of Dark Matter is one of the most urgent unsolved questions of modern physics. The DARWIN observatory is a future experiment to search directly for Dark Matter and to shine light on its properties. DARWIN will consist of a dual-phase time-projection chamber with 40 tons of liquid xenon in its active volume and will be surrounded by external veto detectors for background suppression....
As conventional liquid noble experiments push towards lower energy thresholds, separation between electron and nuclear recoils becomes increasingly difficult. The Scintillating Bubble Chamber (SBC) Collaboration is combining the well-established bubble chamber and liquid argon scintillator technologies, building a detector specifically suited to quasi-background-free measurement of low energy...
