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.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, an improved geoneutrino measurement with Borexino was reported, where the present exposure is (5.5±0.3)×1031 ωproton×yr, assuming a chondritic Th/U mass ratio of 3.9.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the light yield of the DarkSide-10 detector using the readily-identifiable full-absorption peaks from gamma ray sources combined with single-photo-electron calibrations using low-occupancy laser pulses.

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.
