TL;DR: The DARWIN detector as mentioned in this paper is an experiment for the direct detection of dark matter using a multi-ton liquid xenon time projection chamber at its core, whose primary goal is to explore the experimentally accessible parameter space for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) in a wide mass-range, until neutrino interactions with the target become an irreducible background.
