Description
The DARWIN observatory is a proposed next-generation experiment for dark matter detection and neutrino physics. Darwin will feature a 50-ton liquid xenon target enclosed in a dual-phase time projection chamber. The realization of this multi-ton scale detector requires addressing a series of technological challenges; to this end, a full-scale vertical demonstrator, Xenoscope, was built at UZH. The Xenoscope facility will be used to demonstrate the drift of electrons in LXe over a 2.6 m distance, as well as to perform electron cloud diffusion studies and measurements of the LXe optical properties. We present an overview of the Xenoscope facility, its current status, and future measurement campaigns.
