2 DarkSide WIMP dark matter search using direct detection Dual-phase Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) Ultra low background Deep underground at LNGS Low-background materials, including Ar target Powerful background rejection Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) Ionization/Scintillation ratio (S2/S1) Surface rejection using 3D position reconstruction Active neutron and muon vetoes In situ background measurement 2
3 Why Argon? Relatively dense Ionization and scintillation Easy to purify (chemically) Scales to large mass Transparent to its own scintillation light Exceptional discrimination power PSD S2/S1 Main challenge: 39 Ar contamination Atmospheric argon: high concentration of 39 Ar to 40 Ar cosmogenically activated (1 Bq/kg) β decay (T1/2: 269 yr, Q: 565 kev) Underground argon: significantly reduced 39 Ar activity 3
