First results from the DarkSide-50 dark matter experiment at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso

P. Agnes, +148 more
- 09 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: The first results of a direct search for dark matter operating in the underground Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) and searching for the rare nuclear recoils possibly induced by weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) were reported in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Results from the first use of low radioactivity argon in a dark matter search

P. Agnes, +158 more
- 08 Apr 2016 - 
TL;DR: The first WIMP search results obtained using a target of low-radioactivity argon were reported in this paper, where the underground argon is shown to contain Ar-39 at a level reduced by a factor (1.4 +- 0.2) x 103 relative to atmospheric argon.
Journal ArticleDOI

DarkSide search for dark matter

Thomas Alexander, +133 more
TL;DR: The DarkSide-50 detector as discussed by the authors is a two-phase time projection chamber (TPC) with liquid argon as the target material for the scattering of dark matter particles, achieving a sensitivity to dark matter spin-independent scattering cross section of 10−45 cm2 within 3 years of operation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The DarkSide Multiton Detector for the Direct Dark Matter Search

Craig E. Aalseth, +154 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the DarkSide program focusing in particular on the next generation experiment DarkSide-G2, a 3.6-ton liquid argon time projection chamber (LAr-TPC).
